The Skipping-Rope

Title:     The Skipping-Rope
Author: Carolyn Wells [More Titles by Wells]

This picture (as you can see, I hope)
Shows a fat little maiden skipping rope.
She can jump "highwater" and "pepper" too,
But, fat old ladies, let me tell you,
If you jump "highwater" you'll lose your breath,
And to jump "pepper" might cause your death.

[The end]
Carolyn Wells's poem: Skipping-Rope
