   Listen to your brother – he is wise beyond his years. You don’t want to trip over a sonnet and hit your nose on an ode, do you?

   Alice should really try slam poetry. She will love the attention!

   I think Alice did a terrific job of seasonal-specific jumprope! Petey is probably correct in theory, but there are always exceptions, and Alice was exceptional.

    Frustrating knowing the jump rope poems and not being able to jump rope. Love this one. Love Petey’s take on it.
