Notes About The Poem

Listen to poem:

Ice and Snow

Ice and Snow
by Bob Moore

I remember long ago
the cold, the ice, the falling snow
when as a kid, we used to love it
but as you get older, they can shove it

All that cold gets in your bones
they’re full of creaks, you’re full of groans
and out of bed, don’t want to get
surely it’s not that time yet

You pull your clothes in one by one
and under the blankets put them on
you set them out the night before
be cold in the morning, that’s for sure

And now you’re dressed to meet the day
but that feeling won’t go away
wish mam was here to make some tea
but she’s still in bed, it’s so cold you see.

"Ice and Snow" is a fantastic work. It has a lot going for it. The style and tempo are perfect. Plus, now I know I'm not the only one who warms my clothes under the blanket. Good to know! Also, you get a big bonus compliment for letting mam sleep in while you prepare your own tea. You're all class.

Thank you Andrea, times from long ago in Manchester, but I remember it well
