SKIPPETY skip, skippety skip! Under and over, with never a slip, Pepper and salt, pepper and salt! Over and under with never a halt— That's how it's done— Isn't it fun? And isn't skipping easy? Skippety skip, skippety skip! Hold the rope slackly, give it a flip, Shut your lips tight, make your feet light, Skip on your @3toes@1 if you want to skip right— Hold your head straight— Isn't it great That skipping is so easy? Skippety skip, skippety skip! Steady, now, steady!—ah, that was a slip! Don't watch your @3feet,@1 count every beat— Skipping will make you both nimble and neat— One hundred and one? @3Very@1 well done! And @3isn't@1 skipping easy? | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...CREDO by GEORGIA DOUGLAS JOHNSON TEARS AND KISSES by GEORGIA DOUGLAS JOHNSON FREE FANTASIA ON JAPANESE THEMES by AMY LOWELL SPOON RIVER ANTHOLOGY: J.
