Such simple fun was had in days of old
for younger girls to spend their time each day-
apart from dolls to dress and fondly hold,
or make-believe tea time for fancy play.
A plain backyard with ordinary dirt
and length of rope to loosely swing about;
no matter dresses- plain or ruffled skirt-
just three of them it took to figure out
how fun it was for two to hold the rope-
one at each end to circle it around
so third could jump up high- and also hope
she'd be in time to clear it on the ground.
No TV, phones, or fancy games at hand;
days way back then were simple as can be.
But, oh the fun jump-roping would command-
this pastime kept them happy and carefree!
