Snow Day
Posted on: February 11, 2013
It’s a snow day, hip, hip hooray!
The kids are so happy,
The radio announcer did say.
Maybe not for mom and dad
But for us kids we are sure glad.
There is no school today so we can
Actually sleep in for a change,
Rather than get up so early
Having our rest shortchanged.
There is no work for our minds to do today
So we can waste the entire day in watching TV,
Playing video games or a few board games with our siblings,
That we usually outplay.
Perhaps we could even maybe take advantage of the snow outside
And make a snowman or fort as such
Or possibly go sledding down the hills which can be lots of fun,
Because it is a thrill so much.
Snow days are sometimes so far in between,
As a student we wish for them so hard,
That occasionally to the very extreme;
For parents who work, it makes it harder to find a last minute babysitter
And as for the stay at-home parents,
Some enjoy the company and the one on one time,
Well others are anxious for their little ones
To be back at school for the day
Because of the chaos and pure disarray,
So take advantage of the snow days if they come your way
Since you never know when the storm will hit
Forcing the school buses to not run
And allowing you at home to stay;
Remember if the roadways are icy and not clear
As they do appear
Then stay off them if you don’t need to go out,
To prevent an accident and the emergency crew
Having to waste time on shovelling you out;
Instead stay where it is nice and warm
And put off your excursion until
You wait out the storm.
