A Winter Storm Called Jonas

A Winter Storm Called Jonas
By Franklin Price

A winter storm called Jonas
Has brought a world of white
Began in dark of early morn
Through the day and into night

Sleet and snow and freezing rain
Precipitation Winter's three
Plus six inches on the ground
Heavy dusting in the trees

A winter wonder land to see
Smooth uninterrupted view
It's a shame to walk upon it
To no longer make it new

Put my winter suit on me
Rubber boots upon my feet
I slid a sled down the neighbor's hill
Built a snow man that was neat

At my age I think that's great
I am three score and ten
The next time winter brings the snow
I hope to do it once again
