School Closing
During last night’s weather report came the warning.
There would be heavy snowfall in the morning.
Radio and television are turned on throughout the town.
The reason is that the snow is falling down.
Yes, the seasonal precipitation is causing a fuss.
We do not know if we should wait for the school bus.
There is room for doubt if there will be school.
Closing down for inclement weather is the rule.
Then the announcement comes. There are no classes today.
The children jump up and down and yell “Hooray”!
Well kids, do not be celebrating too soon.
You will only have to make up for it in June.
