Pat Adams Poet Quatrain

Skip, Hop, Jump and Run

The days of skip, hop, jump and run
Slipped away from me like a breeze
I skipped skippin', (It was for girls)
Who knew boxers did it? (Not me)

I'd hop rocks and jump the big ditch
Run around like I was deranged
With school, those girls and bad habits
My hoppin' and jumpin' had changed!

I can still run but not too far
I'm embarrassed to say how slow
It's so hard to get back in shape
'Til it happens, you just don't know!

I've also noticed when I bend over to tie my shoes, I look around to see if there is anything else I can do while I'm there!!......Gotta love that old age!!!..........80)
