The First Fall of Snow

MOTHER

Ah! Look, there is a sight

That you’ve not seen before,

And I believe you might

Delight in this for sure.

Snow is pretty and white

When it falls to the ground

From a very great height

It does not make a sound.

TODDLER

Oh, I don’t like this, it feels so cold

That’s not something I want to hold,

Every time this stuff called snow falls

Those two boys there keep making balls

To throw at each other – what fun!

Oh, look at what that girl has done -

Built a snowman! I’m half inclined

To like snow! I’ve changed my mind.
