Reasoning

Why people pay to skate
Seems quite insane to me;
They pay to slip and fall,
When pavements are for free.

Jack, I'll say it again, I just love your brief method of doing some of these contests. To me the themes seem difficult and you just make them look so easy. This is wonderful. I enjoy your talented writing!!
