Hobbly
Louise Profit
21 November 2007
A JFK runner goes
Hobbly, hobbly,
Hobbly, wobbly, flop.
Whenever I call out
Politely to help them,
They say I can't possibly help.

If they stopped hobbling
They wouldn't go anywhere,
Poor JFK runners
Wouldn't go anywhere!
That's why they always go
Hobbly, hobbly,
Hobbly,
Wobbly,
Flop!

* Based on the Original Poem "Hoppity" by A.A. Milne

(Please note that I did not see many hobbling runners and in fact saw instead speedsters and am totally in awe of all runners and walkers who attempted such an incredible and daunting feat.)
"Hoppity" by A. A. Milne

Christopher Robin goes
Hoppity, hoppity,
Hoppity, hoppity, hop.
Whenever I tell him
Politely to stop it, he
Says he can't possibly stop.

If he stopped hopping,
He couldn't go anywhere,
Poor little Christopher
Couldn't go anywhere?
That's why he always goes
Hoppity, hoppity,
Hoppity,
Hoppity,
Hop.
