 :snowflake: What to Do?  :snowflake:

Sledding through the snow
on a steel blade, no brakes sleigh
O’er the slopes I go
grinning all the way
When in front of me
a white-tailed doe appeared
I guess she didn’t see  
the coast was not so clear

Oh, what to do, what to do
how stupid can I be
In-decision is my name
but not so for this tree
Oh, what to do, what to do
how stupid can I be
In-decision is my name
but not so for this tree

A few seconds ago
I thought I’d practice hard
and soon I’d win the slope
not thinking I’d be scarred
The sleigh knew who was boss
or was it just a guise
when steel on icy gloss
careened my first place prize

Oh, what to do, what to do
how stupid can I be
In-decision is my name
but not so for this tree
Oh, what to do, what to do
how stupid can I be
In-decision is my name
but not so for this tree

Now here I sit in pain
with cast on leg and arm
no venison you see
for Bambi was unharmed
My sled is in the tree
my win is lost this year
at least I’ve got a glee
from pills that bring me cheer

Oh, what to do, what to do
how stupid can I be
In-decision is my name
but not so for this tree
Oh, what to do, what to do
how stupid can I be
In-decision is my name
but
   not
         so
             for
                  this
                         tree.  :reindeer:

Dear Cleo,
Poetry, whatever it is, is different from those forms of expression that are there just to communicate.
It seems to me music is a prime aspect of poetry and poetry that sounds like music  is "spot on".
Nicely done.
Cheers,    jgd
