Marshmallow Snow!

A big marshmallow snow came down last night.

This morning our world was frosted pure white.

It piled on fences, on roof tops, and trees.

And covered our yard in soft blankets of fleece.

It's not so abnormal in this high mountain town.

To have snow in the Spring come fluttering down.

But it's so big and puffy, so thick and so creamy.

It sticks to branches, makes the landscape all dreamy.

The birds came 'round fluttering and hopping about.

And singing to try and stay warm, no doubt!

Mr. Robin sat down with a flit and a twitter.

And sang, "Oh the air, it has turned cold and bitter!"

"Can someone please tell me what happened here?"

"My whole body's in danger of freezing, I fear."

Yet they sang, and they twittered, and they flew all around.

Hardly stopping to pose, hardly touching the ground.

And just look at these two funny young fellows.

They really thought they were tasting marshmallows!

They couldn't wait to open the door and rush out,

To a world full of snow and flakes swirling about!
