VIGOROUS — Invisible Skipping Rope - YouTube

The people all gathered they had such hope,
To see magic tricks, I’d shown to the pope.
I jumped and flipped and spun around,
They booed when I bounced up and down.
I was using my invisible rope.

Worked for you...that's all that counts. Every success, invention starts with imagination. Oh, the pope was trying that, just before...well, I don't want to make you feel guilty.

Hello bill, I am good when I skip with my invisible rope. Now when the jump rope is seen i do not do well. One or two maybe 5 jumps , then i am tired. My poet friend, enjoy your day. /Darlene/

I used to be great at jumping rope, but one jump would be dangerous for me now. LOL Thanks for the comment, Darlene. Hugs, Bill
