A college student reminiscing on better days in the snow.Now instead she's doing homework |
| The children play, like back in my day. Their red noses stand out in the snow, As their smiles continue to grow. Inside I do sit, A long with my lit. Homework as high as the snow, And hot embers glow. Hot chocolate for all, The kids have a ball. I read textbooks and papers, As the kids sit round the shaper- of ballons till its time to go home. It's eight fifteen, The roads look mean. I travel away from the house, Quick as a mouse. For me it is time to go home. Away to it I do roam. On towards my home, In hopes of a warm drink with foam. Alas in the warmth, I find a great wreath, Tea to be made, A syllabus I must bade. Still homework to do, I take of my shoe. Sitting down at my table, I begin to write my little fable. For math can wait, English is my true fate. The storm rages on, And in a blink I am gone. |
