Poem


the snow was falling ...
         the wind blowing it in drifts ... here and there
        and it was real cold
      oh, gosh that snow was bad
            but pretty
like a winter wonderland

          ~  and I was determined to go out to the store
so, I dressed for the North Pole 
        with hat, scarf, winter coat and mittens  ~

      it was not a beautiful look
            but this is Canada in wintertime
fashion must be set aside for warmth
my boots were clunky and heavy but good for walking in snow
            so, off I went went sorta confident

~  it was hard going because of the snow in my face
          and I discovered ice hiding beneath the snow in places
so, slow and careful was my plan ~ 

I shoulda seen it comin ...
        because I was no longer walking
          I was floating in the air
      then,  I landed spinning in circles
                   it was not very dignified that's for sure
         oh, yeah I had hit a nasty patch of ice
      I sat on the pathway bewildered  ... and quite dazed
my hat was lost and 'gone' ...

         ~  somehow, I managed to 'crawl' back home
my arm hurt a lot (and ended up sprained-  ouch!)
       oh, yes indeed ... I shoulda see it comin ... I was a fool
... to think that I could defeat the snow and ice  ~
