When skimming flattened pebbles from the land
the angle of descent should be acute.
And never throw at row boats if they're manned;
but if you do it, do it quick, then scoot.

You can't fly kites up high, or race the dog
when skimming flattened pebbles from the land
'cos slinging stones should be a lonesome slog.
Those kinds of things should never be on hand.

At times of stress when nothing goes as planned;
if you have problems large, or by the score
when skimming flattened pebbles from the land
the buggers often sink into the shore.

So dig your toes into the sand below
and with the shiny rock at your command.
Let loose the missile, sling away your woe
when skimming flattened pebbles from the land.
