Let It Snow, Let It Snow... Okay. You Can Stop Now.


Snowball

by Shel Silverstein


I made myself a snow ball as perfect as could be.

I thought I'd keep it as a pet and let it sleep with me.


I made it some pajamas and a pillow for its head.


Then, last night it ran away.

But first -- it wet the bed.

 



Plenty of snow for everyone in my etsy shop and my eBay shop.

The Dark of December

I Heard a Bird Sing

I heard a bird sing
In the dark of December

Photobucket

A magical thing
And sweet to remember:

Photobucket

"We are nearer to Spring
Than we were in September,"

I heard a bird sing
In the dark of December.

Something to remind you the days are growing longer again.

Winter Morning Poem

Winter is the king of showmen
Turning tree stumps into snow men
And houses into birthday cakes
And spreading sugar over lakes

Photobucket

Smooth and clean and frosty white
The world looks good enough to bite
That's the season to be young
Catching snowflakes on your tongue

Photobucket

Snow is snowy when it's snowing
I'm sorry it's slushy when it's going

Snow and ice ornaments here.  No shovel required.

The Conformist Snowflake

Photobucket

No two snowflakes are alike.  That's what we learned in our science books.  And we believed it.  But what if it's not really true?  This is the sad tale of a snowflake who set out in quest of her identical twin.

Photobucket

There once was a snowflake named Mattie
Who lived off in cold Cincinnati.
One day, chilly Mattie went batty
And pondered and then waxed quite chatty.

Photobucket

She set out atop a fur hattie
To find a twin snowflake as flatty
And oddly proportioned at Mattie
Who lived off in cold Cincinnatti.

Photobucket

She checked each snowbank and mudflatty
In quest of her twin snowflake Patty.
She looked 'til the sun shined and thatty
Was what made poor Mattie go splatty.

Photobucket


The bookmark is here.  Mattie's somewhere in Cincinnati.

Some Snow and Ice from Shel Silverstein and Me

SNOWBALL
by Shel Silverstein


Photobucket

I made myself a snowball
As perfect as could be.
I thought I'd keep it as a pet
And let it sleep with me.


Photobucket

I made it some pajamas
And a pillow for its head.
Then last night it ran away,
But first- it wet the bed.


Photobucket

So if you want some snow and ice
Who leave your bed pristine,
This bracelet's fully potty trained
And schooled in good hygiene.

Photobucket

Really.
