If I Had a Skateboard

If I had a skateboard
I’d make up some tricks
And toss in some old ones,
My own special mix.

I’d glide down a staircase
And leap in the air.
To show off my skills,
I’d accept any dare.

All the people who noticed
My age from my face
Would be shocked by the stunts
They would see taking place.

If I had a skateboard,
I know in my gut,
It would take merely seconds
To fall on my butt.

But, I'm sure you'd do so with style, grace, and a lot of panache, Ilene.

Lol. You may be pretty good I think I'd be good at surfing. It looks easy.

LOL, love it Ilene. A couple years ago I dared to put on roller skates and quickly realized it was no longer a great idea.
