First there is one. It’s easy to copeThen there is two in double dutch ropesThen we double up for a double tuckTwo jumpers jumping for a double duck.The double dipping speed of the swishing ropesIs rhythmically kept by the musical tropeStakes raised up by a rival pairTension filling the evening air.Doubling up the players with each new roundThe neighbourhood crowd looks on spellboundPractice, practice to get this rightdouble-double dutching on a Saturday night.© Sheila Ash, 2018Performancehttps://youtu.be/TUUhF-R4V5MFast and furioushttps://youtu.be/iHO9oJHUV5QFreestylehttps://youtu.be/uRdwTxMeTL8Double Dutch (detail), 2016 byRobin Rhodehttps://www.artbasel.com/catalog/artist/8001/Robin-Rhodeashramblings
