One peak into the past.
One peek into the past.
When I was young, we used to play games; today they do, but it's not the same. We would play hide-and-seek, not peek. We played with little red wagons, and today they fall off the wagon. We would jump rope; today they sit around and smoke dope. We played with jacks, but today they shoot you in the back. I wish we could go back in time to 1969, when there was no more crime.
