The Snow That Did Not Fall- a poem
Little children wake up cheering
Little faces go on peering
Out the window, calmly waiting
For the white stuff to appear.
Their Daddy told them to listen
To the weather man,
Who predicted
A half foot or more today.
They were all so happy
School did not open today.
But what a disappointing
Sad surprise-
Mother saw the near tears
In their eyes.
That all was left outside
Was a puddle
From the rain,
Just a lot of "muddle".
A false report and
A lost day of wages;
Forcing the girls and boys
To either play video games
Or read books with lots of pages.
No one likes a rainy day
When the skies are just dark and gray.
Not one snowman was there to make,
Not one snow angel to form
Or a snow igloo to shape.
Some smart kids will just decide
The weatherman's a fake
On this wasted gloomy day.
