With winter chills outside the door
You turn up the heat even more;
Taking a walk out through the snow
The grass crunching as you go.
Children's snowfights all in fun
Warming slightly in the watery sun,
A snowman dressed with scarf and hat
Big and tall and very fat.
But for adults, not so great,
Snow, for work, makes them late;
No public transport, buses or trains,
The cars skidding across the lanes.
Why don't they just stay home instead,
Play with the kids or stay in bed,
For really they all long to be
Throwing snowballs laughing with glee.
