Bouncing

Give a kid a trampoline
And instantly she's bouncing
With joy that far exceeds
Whatever game her jumps are trouncing.

A little music makes the fun,
If possible, much better.
If you've a child who wants to try,
Don't hesitate - just let 'er!

For glee is hard to come by
As we age and fear starts showing
So it's best to seek occasions
That will set most grins to glowing.

In this spirit I am writing,
Which is my way of announcing,
That to make your charges happy,
Find a gym and get them bouncing!
