74th Street By: Myra Cohn Livingston (1) Hey, this little kid gets roller skate, She puts them on. She stands up and almost Flops over backwards. She sticks out a foot like She’s going somewhere and Falls down and smacks her hand. She grabs hold of a step to get up and Sticks out the other foot and Slides about six inches and falls and skins her knee. (2) And then you know what? (3) She brushes off the dirt and the Blood and puts some spit on it and Then sticks out the other foot. (4) Again.
