Merry Christmas and Happy New Year
13 November 2020 -
Merry Christmas
If King Winter is the Master
with snow and ice on canal and ditch
Many skaters heart beats faster
the noble art of skating is so rich
To challenge the ice in a blink
should one First learn to skate
At natural ice or skating rink
to balance well and skate so straight
Many Trainer helped the skater
trained him or her to “prime”
Others did the “jobs” around it
the Jury member "kept the time"
Also the “Cleaner” and ice “ Sweeper ”
proudly looked after their job
Sometimes worked hard like beavers
making the ice to be very “top”
The Starter started many races
pointed his gun into the sky
Giving skaters very good bases
for going over the ice in a “fly”
The TC-member took decisions
never good that was the case
In the eyes of the helmsmen
standing ashore in the wrong place
The Competitors Steward suffers
no start position was correct
With questions from all those “Duffers”
and the points 3-double checked
The Referee tries doing Justice
in order to make it fair for all
Sometimes dealing with some “crudeness”
if space between skaters was too small
Lapboard counting is so heavy
concentration is the thing
Many colleagues will not envy
don’t forget the bell to “Ring”
The Announcer tells the story
sometimes chatted from his neck
Made the game not being “boring”
With all the skaters on the “deck”
Statisticians collect the results
so that no one will forget
Supporters will love the outcome
and will sometimes do a “Bet”
Thanks to the efforts of these “many”
Is the Skating for Young and Old
By sharing the skill to “Any”
a sport worth much more then gold
I wish you all a Prosperous and Sportive 2021
and hope we will meet many more times
at Ice rinks around the World
