Cul de Sac by Richard Thompson for March 02, 2013

Excellent poem, young Alice.

Be a sport, Petey; Alice is poetry in motion.

Alice should really try slam poetry. She will love the attention!

I’m not sure, but didn’t Alice just do the iambic pentathlon?

I think Alice did a terrific job of seasonal-specific jumprope! Petey is probably correct in theory, but there are always exceptions, and Alice was exceptional.

This is one of my favorite Cul de Sacs. I love Alice.

Frustrating knowing the jump rope poems and not being able to jump rope. Love this one. Love Petey’s take on it.

We always counted our jumps.
