Snowboarding

Waiting!
Eager to head up the mountain,
While waiting, I drink from the hallway fountain.
Standing on a stair,
Made me wonder if I chose the right clothes to wear.

Going up!
Got that crazy feeling that I’m going to jump,
The next thing I know I’m on a bump.
Speeding up that steep hill,
Made me think of Jarin who needs to take a calm down pill.

Coming down!
Coming down I feel like a clown,
Because my skin is pure brown.
Then I remember what a great time I had
And next time, it wouldn’t be so bad.
