Tricky Maneuver

Which is trickier, slipping or sliding? The ice out there is a hard quarter inch. Which is riskier, gripping or gliding? I'm digging down deep in the workroom bench; I remember they are in here somewhere. The ice out there is a hard quarter inch. I've got grip thingies for my boots to wear - those with the sharp metal points underneath. I remember they are in here somewhere. Voila! they still have more than half their teeth! I recall there's a trick - slogging in spikes. those with the sharp metal points underneath. With one step forward, I let out a "Yikes!" as my keister says "hello" to the floor. I recall there's a trick - slogging in spikes A few steps more and I'll open the door, Which is trickier, slipping or sliding? as my keister says "hello" to the floor. Which is riskier, gripping or gliding? April 8, 2022 Beyond ice and snow, consider this trope With smiles on your faces, hold on to hope.
