Writer's workshop: a jump rope rhyme about a different time
One jump in, try not to frown
Alone again, a boring town
Two of us, I wear the key
Around my neck, for all to see
Three and four unlock the door
No friends inside is a bore
Parents won't know what we do
Hours of fun without a clue
Best friends with boys across the way
Our parents split, no one could stay
Death took one of the boys from us
My heart still feels the painful crush
Divorce and distance take a toll
Five and six I am a fool
Missing family far away
No words can take the pain away
Seven eight my family grows
She has his eye, my little nose
I understand a mother's love
Hurt even more from what's above
Touch the ground, count up to ten
Still feel alone, need a friend
One jump out, try not to pout
Life is full of round about
Inspired by the genius of Mama Kat
