No soul in sight
It’s getting light,
The air is crisp,
Beneath the wisp
Of clouds that let
The sunshine get
To shine on me
Before I ski.
Okay, so I made that up; I’m not going to ski, but I can imagine and dream a little.
But those who stand there on this hill,
Are feeling anything but chill.
Filling lungs with crisp, clean air,
Joyful and without a care.
Oxygen revives their brains,
As the plaque inside them drains.
O-k-a-y…
I must stop this silly rhyming,
As I’m losing all my timing.
*****
Have a happy 2025.
Thank you, Pat, for the photos.

If you cannot ski or anything else for that matter, at least you can always dream about it. Frohes Neues Jahr 2025, Anneli!

Yes, I remember it too, Allan. The ground is awfully hard when you fall.

Frohes Neues Jahr 2025! 🎉 Great poem and of course, you activated lots of memories of skiing, both downhill and cross-country. I don’t do either any more. Those falls … ugh. Cheers.

Lol. Thanks for the laugh, Anneli. You definitely got me chuckling with the “plaque.” Lol I knew it was downhill (skiing) from there. I can’t ski any more, but it was fun back in the day. 🙂 Happy New Year.
