If there isn’t time to play – then what is our life for?

Do you play in your daily life? What says “playtime” to you?

Do I play in my daily life

You have to bet I do.

If there isn’t time to play

Then what is our life for?


It’s work that makes the world go round

There’s stuff we have to do

But once essentials have been done

There should be time for you.


I’m retired don’t have to work

I still have household chores

But once they’re done

My time is mine.

There should be time to play.


My wife would say

I play too much

And leave too much to her

But I don’t always see the point

There’s no inspector calls.


There’s not much time to play today

I nearly messed my streak.

I had to put my toys away

And get on with real life.



Another day there’s fantasy

The Fantasy Premier League

Or running round the morning streets

Like some demented kid.


What to me says ‘playtime’

Is any time I’m free .

You never get too old to play

You grow old if you don’t.
