While my partner is round and gold, I myself am straight and jeweled. I am the authority a monarch must hold.

Inside your house, they await cozy and warm. Take off your outside shoes, and don this homely pair. The name is misleading, as they help prevent the action, so put me on, sit back, and relax.

Round and round, I spin with glee, painted horses, joy set free. Here we laugh and dreams unfurl, in this whirling, wondrous world.

In my day, we danced on wheels, not with a partner, but on reels. Gliding on the streets so bold, with a plank and tales untold.

With strings I send a ball in flight, or keep the whole house up at night. In sport or chaos, loud and fast, my name fits both from first to last.
