Jumping Puddles On Rainy Days
Jumping puddles on rainy days
is my sidewalk exercise challenge,
leaping over the wet intrusion,
keeping my shoes dry is a delusion.
Jumping puddles on rainy days,
I pretend to be a high jumper of sorts,
competing in the Olympics is quite a feat
as I land on my two feet and not my seat.
Jumping puddles on rainy days
provides an elevation of self esteem,
an ego lifter which gives me a big head,
except for a pond-sized one which I dread.
Jumping puddles on rainy days
breaks up the monotony of my life
as I venture to the great outdoors,
adding each jump to my rainy day scores.
