Skate
In Canada we don’t want you to tie your shoe
Instead, please tie up your skate,
A nice snug fit sure feels great.
A sharpened pair of blades feels nice too.
Carving the ice right over the blue,
So much freedom on this giant white plate.
Skates pushing you forward like their transporting freight.
Your going so fast you think you just flew.
Gliding so gracefully around the cold rink,
The frosty air freezes your face.
Breathing so hard warms you up,
Your skates dig deeper and you start to think.
You must keep going like it’s a race,
With this amount of effort you’re sure to win the cup.
