Ice Skating in Boston

a triolet

My ice skates kish-kish winter blue.
It’s like dancing with a magic wand
that draws figure eights from me to you.
My ice skates kish-kish winter blue.
My legs wobble in these skittering shoes,
down I go on Boston’s Frog Pond.
My ice skates kish-kish winter blue.
It’s like dancing with a magic wand.
