Jimmy Riddle

This year
We turned the Christmas lights down,
Turned the table around
And lay on the ground.
Aching limbs hung dormant
'Til breakfast.
We'd been lay on the cold ground.

Later,
We went sledging
On the ice outside the house.
David lay on the snowy pavement,
His body turned to a frosty snow man.
We'd been lay on the cold ground.

After the winter,
We went to sleep,
For some months.
When it started to get cold
We woke up.
We'd been lay on the cold ground.

The dam was steep,
Great for sledging.
We sat at the top
And rocked on the edge.
Zoomed down
And crashed into a hedge.
We'd been lay on the cold ground.

Eiji Tunsinagi is an unknown quantity at this point
I just don't get the repeating line We'd been lay on the cold ground.
This is the riddle, no? Well, maybe it's just an English thing. I quite right like the poem otherwise.
