Notes About The Poem

hopscotch

Listen to poem:

Backyard Hopscotch

I once tried hopscotch in reverse,
Backwards it went from bad to worse.
My hop was scotched,
My stone was botched,
I fell head over heels adverse!

"Backwards it went from bad to worse." I am so glad this was backyard hopscotch and not playground hopscotch, I mean could you even imagine the poor kid that does that on a playground. Like if that was me, that'd be even another reason in the eyes of my classmates to bolly me more than they already did. Well, congrats on your placement in my contest, because this was a really cool poem.
