BRONZE SILVER OR GOLD

Toes are pointing;

Eyes are squinting;

Knees are bending;

Then - let - go

Body diving;

Arms are flying...

                    THUMP!

And that's the way

I do my jump.

On your mark....

Get set...

Go!

Get up, Get up.

Don't be slow!

Pick it up

Run! Run!

Set it down.

Fun! Fun!

How the seconds fly

While the feet run by.

Must keep going

There's no end.

Tummy's aching muscle's breaking.

Thirty-three......thirty four....

Oh! I'm hurrrrting

Please, no more!

READY. SET. GO.

          (uh - uh - oh-h-h)

Three seconds.

          (Is that all?)

Six seconds.

           (I'm gonna fall!)

Nine seconds.

           (Arms are straining!)

Twelve seconds.

          (Hands are paining!)

Fifteen....

          (Bronze. Silver. Gold.)

Eighteen...

          (How

                  much longer

                                     can I

                                             hold?)

Twenty seconds...

            (I must drop.)

                                 PLOP!
