Ben's Rock

Ben’s Rock

Along the rocky shore he stepped

Ragged rock to ragged rock

Just a breath from the water

Of which the rules forbid;

Ahead he saw the boulder rest,

Water lapping all around,

Just a step from the path he chose,

And so deftly did he look and step

And hop onto the boulder’s edge,

He raises his arms and with a grin

His teasing voice exclaims,

“I’m not in the water, teacher,”

His eyes sparkling with his win.
