Where is the magic roundabout? Basil and Parsley too, is Zebbidee jumping round on the spring he did do.
Rag,Tag and Bobtail prancing in the sun, wooden tops are trotting, chasing kids in the run.
Poor old Muffin Muffin the mule. dancing on strings acting the fool.
Bill and ben, flower pot men, chatting little weed near the shed, "flubber lub",said Bill, "oooooooo", little weed said.
Where is crackerjack? did he get the sack? too many cabbages not enough prizes said.
Where is watch with mother? perhaps kids grew to some other, nothing sacred anymore, tales all told,same old bore.
Bring back the magic of the roundabout.

Alice, is it old age or do the new ones not seem the same as the old? Yes, bring back the Magic!
Andy Pandy, The Woodentops, Sooty and Sweep, Larry the Lamb..... I shall probably think of more throughout the day. You've got me thinking now!

Another thought - did you do 'Movement to Music' in Junior School? It was on the radio at 11am, after playtime, I seem to remember.

Joan I listen to radio Sheffield and they was talking about was life better 50 years ago.
I do have a copy of watch with mother that the kids love.
Old version and some are Black and White.
New version of Bill and Ben are not the same.
Next poem will go back after hearing a lot of comments on radio. I must have looked a hussy when the first short skirts came in showing my knees.

Twizzle, Fireball XL5, Four Feather Falls, Sooty, Basil Brush (mind you, he's still around today and they're bringing back Andy Pandy). Children today aren't really children, they're miniature grown ups and are too sophisticated for their own good. Thanks for the nostalgia Alice.

Nice one Alice, some good memories. I loved the plimsoles that Florence and co wore in MR.
You could add loads more verses - Fingerbobs, Deputy Dawg, Hector's House, Mary Mungo and Midge, Trumpton and Camberwick Green, Mr Ben....lor! did I really watch so much TV as a kid?!

DON'T FORGET THE FLUMPS! Loved that flumpet (whatever they called it) and they always had vegetable soup for supper.
