Typical Snow Day

"Ooh, it's snowing", squeal the kids. "There'll be no school today!
Get the sleds out! Find our mufflers! We'll go out and play!"
"Mom, come help me find my mittens. Where's my furry hat?
Breakfast? No way! Can't you see? There's no time for that."

"Oh, it's snowing", groan the mothers, "There's no school today.
Kids will track snow in and out, and turn my hair to grey.
They will never take the time to eat what I've just cooked.
It'll take me half an hour to get their boots all hooked!"

"Oh, it's snowing!" yelps the dog. "Kids are home today,
I hope they remember to let me pull the sleigh!"
"Oh, it's snowing", say the dads. "Wish I were home today.
I could help them build a snowman....but I'd get no pay!"

"It's stopped snowing" cry them all. It's just another day.
School will open, after all. Can't stay home and play."
Kids are grumpy, moms relieved, and dad goes off to work.
On one thing they all agree: the weatherman's a jerk !
