Some Stubborn Snow

Some stubborn snow Just will not go; It likes to hang around. It’s laying low But as we know It uglifies the ground. For city air Makes white snow rare. Each day the heaps get grayer; And those that care Might even dare To blame it on the mayor. Yet very soon (Perhaps by June) The sun will melt those piles And we’ll commune Each snow-free noon With spring-like beaming smiles.

Maybe you'll get the rains we had and it will wash it all away.

Hi ilene, don't break out those white pants yet. :) Those piles can still get bigger. Aren't I funny. :) I don't remember if it's he see's his shadow or the other way around. Let's just give him a carrot and appease his ill will. :)

I am sure the kids will be smiling when the pristine snow first arrives but when it drags on it causes so many issues especially for travel:-( Love the imagery of the grey snow I can just picture it - hope its gone well before June!:-) hugs jan xx
