Andrew Crisci Poet Lyric

Ah, I Wanted Snow

Ah, I wanted snow
for Christmas, Lord,
but it came a day too late;
no kids came out,
all was darn quite!
Ah, I was waiting inside 
for tons of snow...
where did Charlie Brown go?

I had my green hat on
and Santa's red suit,
I could swear they would
think I was him in flesh
and bones: what a clown!
I just resembled him,
a fat face with dimples,
they all laughed
at me, because
my belly was slim!

A spark of genius hit me,
I stuffed two big pillows
under my suit to look plum;
they didn't think it was funny.
they asked if I could make it snow,
I wasn't the Wizard of Oz,
nothing I could do; I said,
" Sorry to disappoint you, 
it will make you blue! "

Darn kids, they jumped on me 
and flattened my belly,
they laughed feeling so silly;
sunset came, no snow 
in sight, wait up boys, 
I'll make a wish, in minutes...
snowflakes fell on the lawn:
was it magic or a miracle?
The snowfall excited all!
