Slip on ice

Walking on the road so gray, Where slushy snow just loves to play, A little kid with boots so bright, Stepped out with all his tiny might!

The road was slick, a frozen treat, He took a step, then lost his feet! A-WHOOSH! He sailed, a human sled, His hat flew off and bumped his head!

He flailed his arms, a funny sight, Like penguins trying hard to take flight! He spun around, a dizzy blur, The icy road, a trickster sir!

Past lampposts tall and bins so wide, He zoomed and slipped, with nowhere to hide! A lady screamed, a fluffy cat, All watched him go, just like that!

But then, ker-PLOP! He landed soft, Right in a snowdrift, way aloft! No harm was done, just snowy fluff, He giggled loud, "That was enough!"

He stood right up, a snowy elf, And burst out laughing at himself! The lady smiled, the cat purred low, A happy laugh, in the winter snow!
