Explore "The Skipping-Rope" by Carolyn Wells on Textopian. Read with annotations and highlights.
This picture (as you can see, I hope) / Shows a fat little maiden skipping rope. / She can jump "highwater" and "pepper" too, / But, fat old ladies, let me tell you, / If you jump "highwater" you'll lose your breath, / And to jump "pepper" might cause your death.
