the snow was falling ...
the wind blowing it in drifts ... here and there
and it was real cold
oh, gosh that snow was bad
but pretty
like a winter wonderland
~ and I was determined to go out to the store
so, I dressed for the North Pole
with hat, scarf, winter coat and mittens ~
it was not a beautiful look
but this is Canada in wintertime
fashion must be set aside for warmth
my boots were clunky and heavy but good for walking in snow
so, off I went went sorta confident
~ it was hard going because of the snow in my face
and I discovered ice hiding beneath the snow in places
so, slow and careful was my plan ~
I shoulda seen it comin ...
because I was no longer walking
I was floating in the air
then, I landed spinning in circles
it was not very dignified that's for sure
oh, yeah I had hit a nasty patch of ice
I sat on the pathway bewildered ... and quite dazed
my hat was lost and 'gone' ...
~ somehow, I managed to 'crawl' back home
my arm hurt a lot (and ended up sprained- ouch!)
oh, yes indeed ... I shoulda see it comin ... I was a fool
... to think that I could defeat the snow and ice ~
