My Winter

Sure it comes with shoveling,salting,sanding,scraping,snow plowing and snow blowing It also comes with so much more beauty that's well worth knowing Snow blockades for snowball fights Playing king of the mountain on a blanket of white Explore tunnels into snow made forts There's snow angels in shapes and sizes of all sorts Take a break for tasty marshmallows in hot cocoa Hike back up to the top of the sledding hill and go Have fun on tubes,saucers,sleds and skis Watch out below for beautiful snow covered trees Snowboarding can give you such an adrenaline rush Enjoy watching the sled dogs mush Build some snow sculptures or a simple snowman Take a ride and enjoy snowmobiling,ice fishing or to the crazy outhouse races because you can Take time to catch snowflakes on your tounge No matter your age it makes you feel young Try out some snowshoeing or perhaps a kabogum run Ice skating and ice hockey can also be fun Hunters appreciate snow for tracking their deer For the U.P winter is a wonderful time of the year Tell stories sitting cozy with loved ones around a fire There's so much about winter in the U.P I desire This is only a small list of what makes winter in the U.P so super It has so much more to offer, yah der ay I'm proud to be a yooper Slip on a wet suit and surf the waves of Lake Superior Being the largest fresh water lake in the world she isn't known for being inferior Jump in a hot suana to get out of the cold So many adventures and mysteries in the U.P to unfold End your chilly day with a hot pasty, bowl of chili and a hot bath When you wake up tomorrow you will probably have to shovel a new path The U.P in winter is worth visiting, it's a beautiful sight The U.P in winter is a beautiful winter wonderland delight
