Visitor,

December is here and while it isn't cold enough for snow yet, we have a silly poem to get you in the winter mood and celebrate the fun of snow:

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 it's head.
Then, last night it ran away.
But first -- it wet the bed.
