Hesitant flakes begin to fall <br />Unique they land on gardens all <br />A single sheet to neatly lay <br />For young at heart a friend for play <br />A stealthy feline's tracks appear <br />The cat wants in, she makes that clear <br />Infinite volume and grace <br />Crisp deposits transform the place <br />Depth soon reaches many an inch <br />Kids looking for Mum's hat to pinch <br />The finishing touch to their plan <br />To build the estate's best snowman <br />When we've had our share of snow <br />A biting wind begins to blow <br />A swirling cloud of blinding white <br />Combats the onset of the night <br />Shifting low mountains have been made <br />For weary workers through to wade <br />More drive home not glad it's snowed <br />With queues and carnage on the road <br />The problems that snowfalls do cause <br />Follow a couple of simple laws <br />From young to old the problems grow <br />Pleasure starts high and ends up low.<br /><br />Esra Sloblock<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/friend-and-foe-4/
