Snow Day
The most awesome words a kid can hear
better than pizza on Friday night
delivered right to your house
better than cuddling with kittens
mmm, maybe not
better than a bubble machine in the tub
where many fun times were spent
by two dark haired beauties
making beards and hats out of bubbles
better than a hideaway made out of sheets
draped over chairs secured with hairclips
better than Happy Meals with chicken nuggets and fries
better than playing in the mud after a rain
and digging for worms
Those much anticipated winter words a kid can hear
the forecast of SNOW
when, how much, how soon, can I stay up late just in case
the next day, staying glued to the local radio station
to hear the best words of the year
SCHOOL IS CANCELLED !!!!!!!
Screams of pure joy ensue, plans made for the day
a quick breakfast is consumed then
as swift as plans were made, like a balloon stuck with a pin
the days plans deflate with the announcement
" WE'RE GOING BACK TO BED !!! "
