Soupspoon
Three smooth stones near water's edge, gray as everyday
Were chosen by the Master Skipper, twelve bounces was his prey
Alas they plopped; they failed to skip
Cold water splashed his knee
And as he fell he broke his hip
Cursing as he fell, was he.
Cried he, "I'll never skip again!"
As gray stones slowly sank
This is the fate awaiting men
Whose skipping draws a blank
