Jumper: catapedamania
As soon as
he could stand, he jumped—
And soon
his body, bruised and lumped,
Bespoke
his fondness for the leap.
Much later
on, he bought a Jeep
And
outdoor clothing—just the best—
For now
he’d picked his final test:
That
canyon Grand—so vast and broad,
But also
deep. They’d all applaud
When he
jumped to the canyon floor,
Then
walked back up to do some more.
It didn’t
quite work out like that:
He jumped
and landed—loud ker-SPLAT!
