Skipping Stones Gather No Mas

Skipping rocks may be the world's second oldest non-profession.
And it is good for all mankind to see
At an early age that natural laws can be broken,
Defied by other natural laws
When the next level of threshold can be reached,
Or that when some other power greater than
The usual comes along and into play,
And favor is shown,
Then heavy stones
Can float and skip and tumble
On their way.

And when the laws of aero dynamics
Usurp the weak force that seems so strong and holds us down,
Then our spirits rise with lift and thrust,
And feet and hearts take flight from mother ground,
And we skip town.
