Ice

"Ice" - a name given to an ice rink nearby. Boys meet nice girls there and say "Hi!" They pay at the till, then hone their skill, After, that is, the warm-up drill. Some of the boys are world-class, they say, But it's wishful thinking - "what's that... hey?" It's only a local place, "not on the map"... They can't be world class with a zip or a zap. The two hours over, they then go away, Some to close friends where they're invited to stay. "See you next time!" say the boys who said "Hi". "Okay" say the girls, "See you, boys... Right, 'bye!" 3/1/2023 Contest - Writing Challenge - 'I' Words Sponsor - Constance La France 2nd place win
