"My Old Skateboard"
When my days of life grow bored,
I can't forget my old skateboard.
It gets me going when I'm feeling down,
When I'm out skating I'll never frown.
To satisfy my punk rock style,
I'll just go out and skate a while.
If I see any bladers or cops around,
I'll kindly meet them to my friend
the ground.
Ollie or nollie, I don't really care
e
Just as long as I kiss some air.
Me and my board will never part
If they take that they can take my heart.
-Charles Kincaid,
North West Radford, VA
