I went skiing at Chestnut in Galena, Illinois My boot broke when I got done So I will call it for this year of skiing Boots are expensive So I went downtown and wanted spritz cookies On the way there there are all these shops One had chocolate treats In it I found slices of bacon covered in chocolate One full strip was 3.50 I bought it and ate it on my way to the bakery I wanted spritz cookies The guy didn't know what that was I said I bought some here last year He still didn't know what I was talking about So I bought some iced sugar cookies in the shape of candy canes Then I went to Culver's and got some onion rings, a butter burger deluxe And a Mountain Dew Then it's off to Cuba City on the way home There I got a tub of powdered cheese for popcorn And a piece of cheese in the shape of a green Christmas tree Covered in green wax So ends another year of skiing and snacking Till I get another boot

About this poem:
I finally got my skiing in. I used to pay by the date when we had snow early. Today would have cost me eight dollars in the past, when skiing started the week of Thanksgiving. The chocolate bacon was pretty good!
