Down the Bannister Lickety Split

 

By Elton Camp

 

As a youngster, the stairs were a delight

I ran up and down them day and night

 

Whenever nobody was around to see

I’d zip down the rail quick as could be

 

It really was a daring and a bit risky ride

So that’s why to do it, I was forced to hide

 

It was an exciting and speedy little trip

And made more fun because I had to slip

 

I’m now old and stairs are dangerous to me

I’d try the banister again if nobody could see
