Jumping Every Day - A Limerick
by Liz Giles-Brown When Sam chose his rope from the rack, He knew not to grab from the pack To get a good fit, Ends touch each armpit, And our Sam he was on the right track. His teacher she helped him to learn, As he started to make his first turn, Using elbows and wrists, He soon got the gist, And some confidence he was to earn. After a few more short lessons, Sam, he was no longer a-guessin’. Keeping head high, So determined to try, A few more hints his teacher was stressin’. |
She watched him jump as high as the trees,
And said, “Sam could you bring it down, please? Jump straight as an arrow, And keep your shape narrow, Then land softly by bending your knees.” His friends gathered as Sam jumped away, And said, “Oh what a great way to play!” Our hearts will be pumping When we start a-jumping, Let's try it at least once a day! |
