Fun

Today, for whatever reason, I got to thinking up jump-rope rhymes.

Brian Kaelin
Parasailin’
Stole a smooch from Sarah Palin
Secret Service
Got all nervous
Started to holler “Saints preserve us!”

Kirsten Madsen
Yells “Egads!” ’n
Welcomes all the high school grads in
Fish week hoe down
Never slow down
Challenge her to a samba showdown

Steven Goetz’ll
Beat Steve Poetzl
In a race to eat a pretzel
Shove and push
Land on your tush
Pass out just like President Bush

Beacon Soccer
Off my rocker
I love you just like a stalker
Chew and chomp
Cheer and stomp
Name my kid Marcel Duchamp

In our chapel
There’s no lap pool
We baptize with Diet Snapple
Justifies
Old self dies
Just too bad it draws the flies

Doyle Srader
Ex-debater
Back when our mascot was “Crusader”
Spoke the truth
Chipped a tooth
Brought back the ghost of John Wilkes Booth

I must alert you
Here comes Virtue
Show some respect or they might hurt you
Sing real purty
Fight real dirty
Then eat a cupcake for dessert-y

Michael Bollen-
Baugh went strollin'
Met the PoPos out patrollin'
Fueled their ire
Opened fire
Now he sings in Heaven's choir

We've got a poetry contest coming up. I'm giving serious thought to entering these. What do you think of "Jumprope Variations" for a title?
