True story
The Sliding Board Caper by damommy


We went out to the park today,
‘cause it’s my favorite place to play.
I said, “Oh, Daddy, ride the slide.
You’ll have such fun when down you glide”
As he went up, I stood aside.
He had an apple in his mouth,
when he flew north, the fruit flew south.
 
The sliding board with its big hump,
right in the middle, made a bump.
He didn’t know, I hadn’t told,
but bless his heart, he didn’t scold.
It was so funny to behold
he had an apple in his mouth,
when he flew north, the fruit flew south.
