A Bit of Snow

A bit of snow is just enough

To make the traffic slow 

And add some time to get to

Where it is you want to go.

A bit of snow can coat the path 

And maybe make you slip,

So walking gingerly prevents

A broken leg or hip.  

A bit of snow can form a pile

You need to shovel out,

But it’s to be expected;

That’s what winter’s all about.

A bit of snow, though, dusts the trees

And beautifies the scene.

If you live in a place with snow,

You know just what I mean.
