Snow in (Progress!)
We loved the snow when we were young
With friends on sledges, snowball fights,
Making snowmen, Oh what fun!
Get to school and try to find
Who can make the longest slide?
And then at school the following day
Arms in slings would come our way.
Then they brought in Health & Safety
Making fun for kids less plenty
They close the schools because of fear
Now the kids will have to catch up throughout the year
The trains would travel come what may
Getting us to work for another day
But now we have the wrong snow on lines
For trains to travel they need the right kind
I do hope we don’t get another bout
As they are running out of salt they shout
I look from my window now that I’ve retired
It looks very pretty from the other side
Although the urge still there I find
To go out and make a nice long slide
I then decide this is not a good thing
As Grandma would not look good with her arm in a sling
