Allegory of Snow
Listen to poem:
Allegory of Snow
By David J Walker
The Volunteers of
The National Measurement Service
Are at it again
Remember when
So many were made so nervous
By a winter wind whipping up
Deep drifts of snow
The deepest shifts to show
How one survived so long ago
The volunteers know
The volunteers remember
10 years ago in December or wait
Was it in February or maybe January
Or no
It might have been November
20 years ago
Anyway
This is a Big Snow
To be remembered and measured
Against memory
As the vast and unpaid research department
is busy creating the story
to fit some sort of a larger allegory
