Slip All

By Arjun –

I don’t know why you want to play,

Football Cause I think there’s a better game called SlipAll!

I tried it once and I slipped on the wet grass,

Boinked on my trampoline and fell on a soap bar.

I went whizzing past the town, faster than a rocket,

interrupted a phone call, and broke down an ice cream stall.

I went sliding into a mall with a chocolate ice cream in one hand

A strawberry one in the other and with my mouth I grabbed a fancy hairband.

The police were after me, the military in front,

I whizzed under their legs and jumped onto a giant ball.

I did tricks and rolled by just like an acrobat,

I reached home with a cat-ear shaped hairband and a brown and pink ice cream moustache!
