Dreaming of a White Christmas

Today it snowed,

and snowed

and snowed.

And they haven't cleared the sidewalks, but they cleared the roads.

So we're walking on the streets and stepping to the side,
while the passing cars make me cringe,
because, clever me, I'm in white.

And I thought my knee was better,
that it had fixed itself for sure,
but a day spent shopping,
slipping and sliding,
quickly brought back the pain.

And my boots are wet right through,
and the bottom of my pants,
are recreating the melting of the glaciers,
and the lake will spread from the hall,
throughout.
