Snow Days

The children will not be out today Because of the weather it is too cold So, we will not hear them shout or play Said Mom, and all people that are old. Keep them in their houses nice and warm We would hate to see the children freeze And be careful in case of a winter storm And of the snow and a freezing breeze. It is just too cold to be out there playing Let the children stay in their homes The weather is bad my mom kept on saying Let them not freeze up and become frozen gnomes. To stay warm the children will need their coats Boots and gloves they will also need to wear And scarves wrapped around their tiny throats They must stay warm if they are out there. My mom sat down as the wind began to blow And as she spoke she nearly bit her tongue She wished she was out there making angles in the snow The way she did when she was so very young. Randy L. McClave
