Rings of life
Can you think of things that ring. A bell rings, a telephone rings, but then you have the other kind of rings, a wedding ring, an engagement ring, a friendship ring, an earring, and when you think of a ring you also think of the other kind of ring. A circle is a ring and you have five circles to advertise the Olympic games¸you have the circle line railway and a hoop is a circle. Why do we have the same words for different kind of things. You have a boxing ring that isn’t a ring, it is a square, we have a bull ring that is more like a circle than a ring, and of course a ring reminds us of a bell so we have tinker bell . She is a fairy and everybody knows fairies are there for children to keep them safe and something to dream about. So you see that is why we have the same words for different things, and all these different words make us think of stories and poems and that is how we get our stories and poems, it is all fantasy. And fantasy is kids, they are our future and our past. Every child in the world had a mother and father, mothers and fathers have kids, so mothers and fathers are the past, kids are the future and their kids are the future. It all goes round in a circle and of course we all know circles are Rings. By Rita Joel
