The Jumping Girl.
For months she could be seen
up on Gal Darach hill.
The girl was young and lean.
She’d jump high on the hill
with grace and energy
her long loose hair
swung crazily from side to side.
The jumping girl was fit
and tireless it seemed.
The summer trees swayed idly,
Heavy in their leaves
And many passing on the hill
Or lying on the summer grass.
Watched her antics mesmerised…
The young lean girl so self contained,
continued with her exercise…
And then…she disappeared.
Some say she took the jagged little pill…
But others say that they believe
The young lean jumping girl..
was pushed, or maybe jumped
off from the hill.
All say the jumping girl
was never seen again.
