A poem a day for 2013 - day 98 - Jump. Jump. Stop.

Vicki, Charlotte, Monique and I
Used to double Dutch
After vacation Bible school
In the parking lot
A one
A two
A three
A thinking girl
Does not just jump in
The ropes deserve respect
A one
A two
A three
Study long
Study wrong
A one
A two
Take too long
There is a girl
In line calling you
Chicken
Scary
Ready to take your place
A one
A two
It ain't about being scared
So what about some ropes
A one
A two
A three
Jumping in is easy
Jump
Step
One two
One two
Jump
Jump
One two one two jump jump
Faster faster
Then right when you have your grove
You remember that
Double Dutch ain't your game
Not this way
Not like this
And no matter how good the game
The ending breaks your heart

Well, like that
Something like that
