first snow of the year
It's the first snow of the year guess it happens once a year oh glory and dogs in the neighborhood are going crazy and even all the old ones that are usually lazy i wonder will it stay for good i wonder will it be here in the morning when i wake up to meet the day will the fresh white snow still around me lay i know that by february my thoughts on snow will be contrary but this is now and then is then so put the bicycles away and clear the walkways with a borrowed shovel and i heard this year was gonna be trouble if you thought last year was bad this year's supposed to be double but you can never ever tell and it's probably just as well take the toboggan to the nearest valley and night time comes just way too soon and you drag the thing home under a half lit moon so i think we should go to bed early and light a candle where we lay stay as warm as we can stay fill my nose up with the smell before you know the days will be getting long but as we hunker down a spell and the fire's burning well i like the way that we keep warm in the covers.
