Phyllis Babcock Poet Free verse

S N O W

The snow is piling up outside
  I want to pull the covers and hide
   The weather has had a chill
    Can't wait to see my electric bill.

Pull out my toboggan and go for a ride
 The snow is piling up outside
   Down the hill I go at top speed
    Can't break a leg-no indeed.

Take out my brand new skates
 See how my skating rates
  The snow is piling up outside
   Have to take the skates off inside.

Now comes the shovel and broom
 Will be moving snow tell noon
  Building muscles on this tough hide
   The snow is piling up outside

Andrea Dietrich December 29, 2012 at 10:59 AM Hey, is that snow still piling up even MORE than before now?? I finally had to go outside and shovel my driveway. YUK. Have not done that in years, but with Joe away trucking, it has to get done. Thanks for your comments you left me recently!
