Snow Day

It is most probable that you do not live in a highrise complex. I am lucky enough to live in one with a central park that includes two outdoor pools and six tennis courts. We don't get snow very often and it is a cause celebre! Unfortunately for the students, this snow day came on a Sunday. School is open tomorrow!

See the pretty snowflakes

Falling from the sky;

On the wall and housetops

Soft and thick they lie.
On the window ledges,

On the branches bare;

Now how fast they gather,

Filling all the air.
Look into the garden,

Where the grass was green;

Covered by the snowflakes,

Not a blade is seen.
Now the bare black bushes

All look soft and white,

Every twig is laden, --

What a pretty sight!
