A Snowy Hill

Kids can never have their fill
Of sledding down a snowy hill
And naturally, our local place
Was packed with families who embrace

The city life and came prepared
To romp in spaces to be shared.
Their bright toboggans let them slide,
Enjoying extra time outside,

When normally, they’d be in class
Until the school day hours would pass.
Today, though, lessons would be taught
On Zoom, so every student ought

To be home staring at a screen
Which isn’t part of their routine.
So many bailed, I’d have to guess,
Based on the joy none could suppress.

These snowy days are very rare
And therefore, it is only fair
That every child who has the chance
Grabs all the fun that Nature grants.

This is why I follow you. When we moved to Evanston sleeding was a big thing. You should write about shevelling snow.

Used to love it when my daughters were young. Now I prefer to watch from inside. Tom
