John Williams Poet Rhyme

Leaping Leena

They called her Leaping Leena,
She was famous through the land,
It started when she jumped a cattle dog,
Then a woolly lamb.

Next she jumped a wheelbarrow,
Then she jumped herself a car,
Her fame was spreading everywhere,
Through shearing shed and bar.

Next she jumped a wagon
Without a second thought,
Then she jumped a brahma bull,
After the wild beast was caught.

But alas her career came to an end
When her eyesight started to go,
Se jumped right over a cliff
Thinking there was water down below.

Lindsay Laurie April 14, 2015 at 8:59 PM G'day John... I just hope that those inconsiderate people who dump their old mattresses threw them over the cliff John... and if so, we might hear more of leaping Leena. Regards - Lindsay John Williams April 14, 2015 at 9:26 PM Yes Lindsay, The poem doesn't say if she survived or not, although one would presume that she didn't. Yes, where's a mattress dumper when you need one. ......Thanks for stopping by Lindsay and the funny comments.....kind regards-----John
