My Sister's Skates

Dear WRITE4FUN:
The money I want from the prize is none,
This is how it all begun.
My sister got into roller-skating a few weeks before.
Just last week she brought us to the roller-skating floor.
We all got in the rink though none of us really managed to soar.
She now loves skating and wants her own skates.
My sister has entered this competition and have given up to fates.
But I'll enter too so I can kind of up the rates.
I prefer songs or letters so I do like writing,
And I really find writing songs exciting.
Though a poem kind of is one, though let's not start fighting.
I really think I'll do this again,
Though to keep myself sane.
I think I might just write about an airplane.
That's the first ever entree by the THE BEAR ever done.
