Interview With a Skipping Stone Contest

We'll start this in-depth interview By asking, please tell me more about you I'm just a stone, one of many I am really just ten a penny Nothing interesting for your notes I just sit here and watch the boats Perhaps a witness will attest That you are in fact the best? (A joyful chap steps up to the mic) Absolutely! Yes, that's right! This stone has given me desire To raise my hopes and then aim higher I thought I was a nothing bloke But this stone here, he gave me hope I'm so pleased to see him one more time Despite absence, he's a good friend of mine I stood here, feeling all alone My heart sinking like a stone Then this smooth guy came along And I realised I'd been wrong I took aim and skimmed 20 plus The whole beach cheered and said come with us Carried on shoulders through the street With stories told of my amazing feat I haven't ever been lonely since then Thank you, thank you, my dear friend That's really an amazing story How do you feel about your glory? For all those years that I stood still I didn't feel joy until You cast me forth into the sea To reveal the best of me I've held you dear within my heart For all the time we were apart This interview will make front page news It's a win/win tale that's joy infused Thank you both, I wish you well It's a treat of a story that you tell No one here is 10 a penny You've raised the hopes of the many What a story, what a tale Of the day two hearts set sail And saw their worth upon the shore And didn't feel aimless any more
