Humour intended. <br /> <br />We shiver in the ice-cold snow <br />Sneezing and coughing as we go. <br />Some schools are closed <br />But our school is not. <br />We have to be there on the dot. <br />I said 'goodbye' to brother John <br />He still had his night-clothes on. <br />Nothing's fair in ice and snow <br />Slipping and sliding - I should know. <br />John is lucky ~ but it's the rule... <br />He stays home, whilst I'm at school.<br /><br />Joyce Hemsley<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/it-s-the-rule/
