Skip
Small skip, big skip,
mid skip
for a Yolosnip.
Skip in the Frumpket sun.
Skip in the Frumpket rain.
Small skip, big skip, mid skip fun.
Skip, skip, skip.
Slip, slip, slip.
Forward skip, back skip.
Sideways skip.
Skip, skip, skip.
Slip, slip, slip.
A skip
isn’t really a skip
without a slip.
Skip
into a bathtub of cheese dip.
Or skip
onto a parsnip.
Skip onto a fingertip.
Or skip
up onto a small ship.
On a grass strip
and on the porch lip
a skip
isn’t really a skip
without a slip.
Skip, skip, skip.
Slip, slip, slip.
Skip like a Frumpket dog.
Skip like a Frumpket frog.
Skip like a Frumpket hog.
Skip like a Frumpket hedgehog.
Skip, skip, skip, skip.
Slip, slip, slip, slip.
A skip
isn’t really a skip
without a slip.
Through a hoop skipping.
Through fog skipping.
Be good at skipping
or be not good at skipping.
Or be the best at skipping.
Good, not good, at skipping
or best at skipping ...
It doesn’t matter! You WILL slip!
You will still slip!
Small skip, big skip, mid skip.
Skip. Skip. Skip.
A skip
isn’t really a skip
without a slip!
