Skipping
by Charles E MinshallI skipped in the street
I skipped on the ground,
I skipped and skipped
I skipped all around.
I skipped in the house
Skipped on the lawn,
Then I skipped me
And poof! Was gone.
I skipped backwards
It didn't take long,
I skipped and skipped
'Till I wasn't gone.
I skipped in the house
The ground and street,
Skipping and skipping
Makes very tired feet.
I think I'll skip
On off to bed,
To skip the skipping
With dreams instead.

| Posted by Glenn Currier on 08/18/09 at 10:27 PM Part of the fun of reading this was trying to picture you skipping childlike all around. Then I enjoyed the skipping of the skipping and the dreaming. Very clever - as usual. Thanks for helping me skip just a few moments of my assiduousness. |
