Snow Day

Snow is falling to the ground

Piling up in enormous mounds

School is cancelled for the day

Children run outside to play

 Snowballs are thrown in the air

No one has a single care

Laughing, playing, chilly fun

Because the day’s a snowy one

 

Snowmen are stacked round and high

Their top hats almost skim the sky

To make them solid they must pat

Then finish off with mittens and hat

 If the weather gets too cold

All the children will be told

To come inside, get warm and eat

Hot chocolate with marshmallow treats

Once the kids are warm and done

They put on their gear for more snowy fun

Some of them will run around

While other kids lay on the ground

A snow angel each will make

With lovely wings, for goodness sake

They spread their arms and up they fly

Into the flurries in the sky

Almost over is the day

The children start to walk away

As snow falls, so does the sun

Time to go in, the day is done

Stay safe and warm out there!
