On a wintry day The snow fell several hours Shoveling wasn't easy I stayed toasty warm I paid two kids to shovel And... I gave them hot cocoa!

this made me smile, my dad used to shovel snow when he first came to Canada, an honest job Charles, thanks for the example :)

A bonus to boot, Charlie! Wise man! This sedoka cleverly told the story of a winter afternoon! Nice! Sending prayers!

I am sure the helpers did a great job and the drink will restore their warmth.
