Skiing down the slopes so fast,
Watching time go flying past.
With a scooter or a skateboard too,
There's so much fun to be had, it's true!

Unicycling through the park,
Showing off your balancing art.
In-line skates make you glide,
You're moving so quick, it's like you've flown aside.

Ice skates on frozen pond,
Spinning 'round until you're beyond.
Snowboarding down the mountain steep,
This is the life, it's simply neat.

But before all the fun begins,
You must do your homework, win or lose.
And don't forget to eat your breakfast,
Fuel for the day and no time to rest.

And when the day is done, it's time to unwind,
Sit back and watch TV, be lazy and kind.
Or sled down the hill with a great big smile,
Until next time, have a good rest, you'll be back in a while!
