The Dirigible Balloon
Poetry for Children

Sledding

Staircases are not for sledding,
That is something you should know.
Indoor carpets can’t replace,
A hill of powdery snow.

Laundry baskets are not sleds,
The give quite a bumpy ride.
There are just some kinds of fun,
For which you have to go outside.
