A Winter Wonderland
It was nine degrees out all was frozen
Not much better inside for commode water
Icy crystals formed not what we'd chosen
Shaking at fireplace's front, stood our daughter
On top of the hearth wasn't any better
One thing we didn't need was a fly swatter
Outside with slick cardboard and snow saucer
The children did laugh and gingerly play
With warm cocoa sipped, slept like a dosser
Snuggled upon dry straw and cow's loose hay
They could have slept through loudest donkey's bray
That experience made for a good day
Winter wonderlands don't happen much here
Usually cold, wet, and windy each year
Sometimes with ice spewed then bugs disappear
So that winter wonderland brought us cheer
Lots of wet clothes and needed headgear
Once we relaxed and to rules didn't adhere
Each family needs one winter wonderland
With cocoa and popcorn in dixieland
