The Leap

Steal a smile,
For a while.
Blow a kiss,
Lie in bliss.
Walk a mile,
Sort your file.
Make a wish,
Catch a fish.
Open a gift,
Close a rift.
Pick a card,
Not so hard.
Smell a rat,
Pet a cat.
Wake up boy,
It's 'Land Ahoy'.
Ride a horse,
Trot in morse.
Watch the kite,
To your right.
Pour some wine,
Drop a line.
Promise a lie,
You know why.
Meet a friend,
Across the bend.
Row a boat,
Around the moat.
Stand at ease,
Feel the breeze.
Rise from sleep,
Take the leap.
