Jamie Juniper
Jamie Juniper jumped a jump
As far as he could leap
He passed the moon and up he zoomed
Through outer space so deep.
He circled back, his arms he flapped
As he started his downward trip
He saw the stars when the sky was dark
Through clouds he seemed to slip.
At last, he saw the ground, but then
he didn’t know how to stop
He somersaulted and couldn’t be faulted
Until he landed - PLOP!
As far as he could leap
He passed the moon and up he zoomed
Through outer space so deep.
He circled back, his arms he flapped
As he started his downward trip
He saw the stars when the sky was dark
Through clouds he seemed to slip.
At last, he saw the ground, but then
he didn’t know how to stop
He somersaulted and couldn’t be faulted
Until he landed - PLOP!
