Ice King

wrapped in furs a king skis to battle - - enemies shiver Jack Horne For Skat’s Ice King contest The ice cube was almost painful to hold, until my hand felt numb

: ): ) A fantastic picture painted with your words, my friend! And those skis were most likely made of wood and their footwear came from animal skins! x Annalise

yes, you had the same experience as I did with that ice cube. so tell me, how long did YOU hold it, Jack. Even in hot sun, mine took twenty min. to melt. I think you have a very clever haiku.
