The Orange Slipper Sled

Winters in Kansas have deep snow One Christmas my "Bro" and I got A present given to us both Which then it seemed happened a lot! It was an orange plastic sled But we thought about a cool stunt Using cardboard and some stiff wire We made a cover for the front It looked like an orange slipper But for action we had a thirst With a coin toss my "Bro" took off We thought why not go down head first! Half way down he lost his control It flipped, rolled and gave us a scare Then finally spun to a stop With snow sticking out everywhere! Standing up he shook off the snow He said struggling not to cry, "It was like being in a car wreck!" I said, "Cool, now I'm going to try!"

Makes me think of all the "dares" my friends and I used to do - "I dare you to eat mud," "I dare you to kiss an actual frog, maybe he'll turn into a prince" - sometimes I wonder how anyone survives childhood!
