Sack Races

Jumping Jim just loved his sack, Two feet in he'd jump up and back, He went in sack races every time He and his sack had a chance to shine, Just a shame it's not an event on the track.

Perhaps there could be a country living style Olympics one day. I am pretty good at gumboot throwing although it has caused me to suffer from wet feet. Glad you enjoyed it Paul and thanks for stopping by,....kind regards....John
