TheDecember Snow©2019TonyFallon1201
We were promised a big snow storm on December first
I know it did no good but many grown up people cursed
We know the snow is coming and our town won't be spared
Yet there's always something undone or not properly repaired
It was supposed to begin at three according to the chart
But by one O'clock it was heavy it couldn't wait to start
They said the storm did much damage far west of the Great Lakes
It came down the Catskill Mountains first in little flakes
But even the tiniest flakes can so quickly multiply
And soon there were a million more falling from the sky
They were joined by many other flakes who were not so small
There were many inches clogging all the roads by nightfall
This was constantly heavy not just occasional showers
And I'm sure we got six inches during the daylight hours
But it didn't stop it continued through evening into night
This was a major storm with no immediate end in sight
Quickly the highways were covered as was driveway asphalt
People were out with shovels and blowers others spreading salt
They say it could go on until Tuesday depth more than a score
I'll be cleaning for hours on the sidewalk in front of my store
Children love great big snowfalls they never are opposed
They listen to the radio to hear if the schools are closed
I know it did no good but many grown up people cursed
We know the snow is coming and our town won't be spared
