The Dirigible Balloon
Poetry for Children

Robin Robinski

Robin Robinski
Red shell jacket,
Flashy goggles
Winter herald,
Smiling beak to beak.

Robin Robinski
No lift needed
Dashes for the
Mountain top,
Four toes secure
Twig skis,
Clear zig-zag
On the slalom slope.

Robin Robinski
Showy slashes of
Jump turns
Poleless-
Ready for the
Alpine ski.

Robin Robinski
Aerial acrobat
Head start in
Flying somersaults
Only crashes of snow
As he lands.

Robin Robinski
Gold medallist
But there’s no cash
For Robin Robinski’s
Fame is on the
Christmas card splash.
