Down the Bannister Lickety Split

Down the Bannister Lickety Split

By Elton Camp

As a youngster, the stairs were a delight
I ran up and down them day and night

Whenever nobody was around to see
I’d zip down the rail quick as could be

It really was a daring and a bit risky ride
So that’s why to do it, I was forced to hide

It was an exciting and speedy little trip
And made more fun because I had to slip

I’m now old and stairs are dangerous to me
I’d try the banister again if nobody could see
