skip skip, skip to my loo

occasionally i like to skip stones.
the past couple times i've been down to the beach,
the water was almost so still
it looked like liquid metal
so clean and clear and what little wave there was, it was slow moving
hence the appearance of liquid metal
who couldn't resist on skipping a rock
you look and search for that perfect rock
round, oval is best, maybe with a little bit of a hook, so you can wrap your finger around it for good spin
nice and flat is good too
you want a decent size, with a good weight
finally! you find a good one and now, it's all up to you kid
do you got it in you?
you lean over sideways and try to whip it as close and best as you can to the surface of the water
ah plunk!
dammit.
messed it up.
what a waste of a good rock!
so you fine another
oh yeah..
you see that one?
that one skipped at least 7 or 8 times
yeahh, that was a good one
such satisfaction
try to do better than the last one
okay here goes
plunk!
ah dammit.
try again
Oooh yyeahhhh! did you see that?!!
