School was out for annual Christmas break Ice and snow hung around many a week A friend and I did what one should not do Went onto a frozen canal to skate Some lads we knew were giving us some cheek Boohoo One lad pinched my friends hat from off her head Chased him I did, what came next haunts me so Iced cracked and yes I was in for the swim The boys were brilliant, I could've been dead Bravo!

Those boys were sure 'brilliant' all right -- as boys are wont to be. Whew! is all I can say. ~ Still shivering, Gershon
