Frozen Puddles

Listen to Coral's poem ... read by Jessica
Frozen puddles make me struggle,
Set my arms and legs a muddle;
Slipping, sliding, smoothly gliding,
Wish I had a sleigh to ride in!

Crack the surface, press the ice
With your wellie, once or twice;
Underneath the water bubbles,
Laughing at our tripping troubles.
