Helping Willy Skate

Mr. and Mrs. McWhiskers are helping Wily skate pure.
But if she didn’t grab him up, then dad did for sure. 
He almost took some tumbles, possibly three. 
Neither want him to scrape a paw or a knee. 

Why don’t you let him take a spill? An old observant guy suggested.
They gave him hateful looks that might get a gang member arrested.
I’m just saying he needs to many up, maybe land on his chin.
They sneered and snarled and shook their parent paws at him.

Hmmm...interesting. I have found that most kids learn to skate best on their own. They must struggle until they get the hang of it. And, they need to take a few falls for motivation!
