Another good laugh and great memories come to light. I had 3 brothers,they probably knew many games to play while 'peeing'. We girls of course were not around or included. We would be a t a distinct disadvantage any way in such a game. Enjoyable and marked by your own touch Alex.

Hahaha this one is so cuddly Christmas fun! And your written word is most enjoyable although if you actually spoke it in front of me! Well I just wouldn't understand a word. Good job I can read and you can write so well. Well done! Stephanie

Absolutely loved this charming little tale, my friend! And thanks for taking the time to translate although I could pretty well get along without it! Three cheers... Jack

HI! Alex. Isn't it great to sometimes look back on our childhood and relive all the fun times we shared with our pals? You teasing of the Auld Parkie, is a typical example of the sort of stunts young kids got up to in my day, too.
Nostalgia is a great relaxer, especially when the present day seems to have taken away so many of the things and scenes that gave Past so many ways to enjoy oneself enjoying simple, yet, shared pleasures.Thanks for sharing these memories. wiljacro.

Edinburgh is very changed.

I remember my brother doing exactly this....
and wouldn't put it past him to do it now!

Thank you my good friend. I needed a good laugh to get my bowl full of jelly bouncing this morning. Good exercise, and about the only stomach exercise I can do. Another wonderful poem of humor. After my surgery and the pain leaving I can feel my humor slowly coming back. A great write that really explains things the way they are. I should know HOHOHOHO. Thank you fur the wonderful tribute.

Good use of rhyming couplets in this story of your childhood.
I love the word shenanigans :-)
Snow covering the smoky grime of the city - love the image.
Peeing in the snow - naughty boy! LOL Brooke :-)

Back in the days when children would entertain themselves for free
Sounds wonderful Alex
lovely memory for you I bet you were a scamp
I enjoyed it immensely.
Writing our names in the snow I well remember doing that
Most times in Scotland we could depend on having some

This makes a nice one. Did not realise your age- you are getting on a bit.
How old were you when you left Scotland. If I read this and some others are you somewhat homesick at times.
Scotland is so nice.
Loved your poem and the things you got up to. Like most boys I gather.
Flows and rhymes well.
