Notes About The Poem

*Example for my contest

Kids First Jobs

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!

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.
