When seventeen inches of snowflakes fall
while birds cluster around the birdfeeder,
shoveling out the walkway and the car
may become a formidable project….

Children, of course, love to play with the snow.
I have fond memories of doing so,
having snowball fights and building snowmen
whose coal smile eventually melts down….
***
We are so addicted to our cars
that we have a diminished sense of wit
when all local roads are not yet snowplowed.
***
We are spoiled by our migrating cars!
After an impressive, monster snowstorm,
one should sip some hot cocoa and relax….
