The Banana Peel Slip

Walking down the street so grand, A city sidewalk, close at hand! Cars zoom by with a "honk, honk, HEE!" A bustling place for you and me!

A boy named Tim, with shoes so bright, Walked with a skip and all his might. He hummed a tune, a happy sound, 'Til danger lurked upon the ground!

For there it lay, a sneaky fright, A Banana Peel, so yellow and bright! It waited there, with glee and zest, To put young Timmy to the test!

*SPLAT!* He slipped! His feet flew high! He waved his arms up to the sky! The Banana Peel, it laughed with glee, "He fell for me! He fell for me!"

He landed with a gentle thump, His backpack made a bouncy "chump!" He sat right up, looked all around, Then burst out laughing at the ground!

No tears, no frown, just silly glee, That Banana Peel couldn't beat him, see! He stood right up, with grin so wide, And left the peel there, with its pride.

"Silly peel!" he shouted loud, "You didn't make me feel unproud!" He dusted off his pants so neat, And walked away, back down the street!
