My First Stone
Novemeber 17, 2002
Copyright 2002 Doug Pretorius

Yet another riddle,
wandered into my mind,
about when I was bit a boy,
in the grand scheme of time.
Another stone skipped about.
among the shore's breaking waves.
much as this rhyme dances,
neatly through these staves.
A beautiful blue summer day,
when I was but three or four,
I'm told that's an early memory,
the first one is usually after a few years more.
But I digress from the story,
you're surely eager I tell,
the next thing I remember,
is the ring of the lunchtime bell.
Oh, but perhaps I forgot to tell you,
just where I was that day,
a lovely little fair weather resort,
nestled in a quiet bay.
And did I mention who I was with,
because I was naturally not alone,
yes, my father looked on proudly,
as I skipped my very first stone.
