They'd been strolling as if in love,
When she'd given him a shove!

Just watch Grandma jumping! See that enormous bound!
Maybe, on the other side, she'll crash down to the ground!

First of all, I'm impressed that Grandma can jump over a rope!

Second of all, how clever to make the prompt into a rhyme! I'm glad I'm behind in reading for once...I can find out quicker what happens next!
