Snow

Winter is such a horrible time
We fight the cold and snow
But as Canadians living here
We really have no where else to go

Sure we can go somewhere warm
For a month or two
But the people who we hold dear
Can not all go with you

So we learn to do the things
We need to do to live in the cold
It makes us learn to use our heads
Even we, who have grown old

We take our vehicles on the road
Driving with much care
Having learned how to do it well
We always manage to arrive there

We never go without warm clothes
No need to freeze our head
If not prepared to brave the cold
We could end up dead

So snow and sleet 
Do not faze us
When it gets to be so really bad
We have learned to take a bus.
