It seems that only children skip
Spryness of youth
A miracle from a distance
Like a feather
Or a rock skimming the water
Captivated by carelessness
Random acts of living
Limitless like imagination
Hop-skip, step on a crack
Sing songs of joy
Heedless of listeners
Skeptical of strangers
The unknown breaks the chain
One ring around one rosie
All others fall down
Giggling all the way
Home.
Dora plays with Bert and Ernie
They ride The Great Space Coaster
Elmo still tickles the funny bone
While Wockets his in pockets
Any Rudy Clint smiles from the Cabbage Patch
Books become castles
Or hop scoth path
Followed by Muppets
Its still not easy being green
Especially when lady pigs know kung fu
And the Yellow Brick Road turns red
A balloon floating away
Endless joy on a cloud
A puff of dragon
Concealing Luke’s skywalking
If only in his youth
When Chairy beckoned at the end of each day
With a final good night to the moon.
