About Yo-Yos

Letting first impressions sting;

You may initially spring

To the assumption that

This wheel on a string

Is just a gag thing.

But on closer observation

And careful contemplation,

You will find that

It is a marvelous mechanization,

Deserving of admiration.

Observe its uncanny ability,

Its undeniable agility,

To return to your palm when abandoned to gravity

With rudeness and alacrity.

Its uses are marvelously many;

Here we can hardly name any.

But allude to a few

Is what we shall do.

The rest will be up to you.

Here is a winner!

It is called the spinner.

The yo-yo’s unerring fidelity

Will get your psyche erected

When you are feeling rejected.

When your sense of power has gone agog

And you are getting yourself in a bog;

Your yo-yo can help.

Try walking the dog.

That will clear the fog.

There are trips you can take with your yo-yo too.

Here are ones you can do.

Around the Corner, Over the Falls, and Around the World

Are places you can go.

So ho-ho-ho to your yo-yo-yo.
