Happy Warm Fuzzy Wednesday
To Amy's Place

Snowy Day

I really need to talk to the Management soon
It's been snowing steadily since yesterday at Noon
Going far beyond the limits I believe in good taste

Even though I dashed Outside without a moment to waste
Watching the fat swirling flakes dance upon the breeze
I pursued my visitors and trapped a few with ease

While making a remarkable discovery about the Dry Wet White
It has to be solid to help its seductive downward flight
And if it comes in contact with something warmer, it disappears from sight!

Leaving an errant drop of water to wet my paws as it comes apart
Or joining its friends on the ground just to do its part
As layers upon layers of the Dry Wet White grow taller by the hour

I blaze a trail to the Back Porch and then begin to scour
Looking for a soft spot upon the graceful drifts where I can plow on through
Getting out of the cold wind to enjoy my cozy, well hidden Igloo

Winter-Time

Late lies the wintry sun a-bed,
A frosty, fiery sleepy-head;
Blinks but an hour or two; and then,
A blood-red orange, sets again.

Before the stars have left the skies,
At morning in the dark I rise;
And shivering in my nakedness,
By the cold candle, bathe and dress.

Close by the jolly fire I sit
To warm my frozen bones a bit;
Or with a reindeer-sled, explore
The colder countries round the door.

When to go out, my nurse doth wrap
Me in my comforter and cap;
The cold wind burns my face,
and blows Its frosty pepper up my nose.

Black are my steps on silver sod;
Thick blows my frosty breath abroad;
And tree and house, and hill and lake,
Are frosted like a wedding cake.

Robert Louis Stevenson
