Me, Moving
I crawl and walk and hop and bounce
I twist, I turn, I tumble,
I jump and run and skip and pounce
I slip, I slide, I fumble.
I catch and throw and toss and grab
I dribble, I knee, I kick,
I shake and shimmy and stomp and dab
I clap, I hum, I click.
I twirl and spin and glide and dance
I flip, I duck, I bop
I pirouette, plie and prance
I gambol, I jog …
I flop.
I twist, I turn, I tumble,
I jump and run and skip and pounce
I slip, I slide, I fumble.
I catch and throw and toss and grab
I dribble, I knee, I kick,
I shake and shimmy and stomp and dab
I clap, I hum, I click.
I twirl and spin and glide and dance
I flip, I duck, I bop
I pirouette, plie and prance
I gambol, I jog …
I flop.
