Skip This

I have been told by my nieces and nephews that skipping, if you are past age 7, is highly uncool. They also say it is "gay" or "girly", and anyone who practices the fine art should be lobotomized, or better yet, crippled. Kids.
It's a shame, really, that skipping has fallen on such hard times. I admit that skipping is gay, but it is gay like gay used to be before it is now. Actually, you don't even see many gay people skipping these days.
Skipping seems to be lighthearted and carefree, attitudes we are in much need of in these times. Skipping is also wonderful exercise, a discipline both young piglets and old lumps would be better off to follow. Finally, skipping looks goofy. What better way to heal your mind and body than to embrace your inner goofiness?
The only things people seem to skip today are lunch, meetings, introductions, ta ma lou, a beat and rationality. It's just not the same.
Come on over, we'll skip on up to crazy Marjorie's and look at the vegetables in her hair.
