Hired car at last minute to go sledging
With Jo in Lyme Park, and it was brilliant
Quick snack, loo visit, and then we're climbing
A steep slope, so slippery under our feet
The night's snowfall turned brown, smoothed and flattened
By slithering sliding sledges by the score
Like a free ride, circus without a tent
Funfair without a fare, ten times or more
You can climb then slide down again, the roar
Of ice beneath, improving like skating
Josie practised, and soon lessons were learned
No injuries, crying, wet feet, or sore
Stinging fingers, just laughs, when I'm running
Down the icy slope, couldn't stop, puff, pant!
