Adrenaline shot through his body
and he ran faster than he ever imagined possible.
When he thought he was safely away,
he hid himself.
His heart pounding like a heavy bass drum,
he thought its very sound
might allow him to be discovered.
He waited patiently for the cry of surrender:
“Ally Ally Oxen Free”.

Aw. He better hide better than that. :)
Sweet.
I've always LOVED that phrase, but what does it mean exactly. Wondering the origin.
But hey, I can Google it.
Cute 55, Monkey Man!
xo
hehe. funny how they hide like that....fun 55.
my 55
Where can he be???? I wonder!!!
Love this light hearted post Monkey Man. It reminded me of a time when my eldest son who was 2 at the time was playing a game of hide n seek with his friends and he hid under the table... head first. Sure his head was hidden but his but and legs were all hanging out!! So cute!!
the pic is awesome to go with the words.. lovely 55.. Mine is here, Golden Days
--Someone Is Special--
Played it MANY times...Late!
And we never were in any danger.
Loved your 55 MM...
Thanks for the walk down memory lane, and have a Kick Ass Week-End.
Oh yes...my kids would play just like that and I would pretend not to see them as I went seeking! Great one Monkey Man!
Now that is awesome! How cute. I thought it was going another way, but this is great! lol.
Mine's up here
Have a great weekend!
what a wonderfully whimsical 55. good memories!
I think I played with him as a kid. What memories.
Oh,double M, them was the daze!
So much suspense in this one. I'm glad it has a happy ending!

awesome!!
Sweet! My son doesn't know how to hide yet, but I suppose he'll learn, like all grownups.
I love the way they think: if they can see you, you can't see them.
Or should that be the other way round?
A strange morning here :-)
I love this .. the picture is just perfect! :o)
I remember those days even though they were a very long time ago.
Well, you put a very big smile on my face early this morning!
I miss those days! Nice
This brought back some great memories. Thanks, Monkey Man!
I haven't heard that phrase in a long, long time. What memories.
That kid's the worst hider ever! (LOL!)
Nifty 55, Monkey Man!

ohhh that's so cute! you and Brian should write a suspense together, like the infamous Brotin tales. Brotinky tales....
Ha
Di
Great pic to go with your suspenseful tale MM! When my youngest plays hide and seek, she heads off to hide, then yells out that she is "here!" silly buggers, the lot of them.
this made me chuckle...Little kids at play. And I love that picture; it went so nicely with 55.
I loved that! You summed so much about the excitement of outside play during childhood in just a few sentences.
That's a good shot of adrenaline.
fabulous job.
Oh, brilliant! This swept me back to being a kid, running amuk in the neighborhood with all the other hooligans. How I miss those days.
