Elton Camp Poet Rhyme

Let Them Jump On the Bed

Let Them Jump on the Bed

By Elton Camp

I can see a mistake we parents make for sure
Let children jump on the bed when immature

When I was young, a bouncy trampoline 
Was a thing I had not one time ever seen

When, to leap on my room’s bed, I’d dare
It brought a rebuke and disapproving stare

I prevented my daughter from doing it too
But that is a thing that I have come to rue

For it was quite unlikely to do any harm
And would have been a source of charm

Jumping on the bed I would still like to try
I can’t and there’s a very good reason why

I have grown too old now to bounce on the bed
For across the level floor I must carefully tread
