Stopping by the Park on a Snowy Morning

Stopping by the Park on a Snowy Morning

Whose seats these are I think I know,

Their homes are in the town though.

They will not see me stopping here,

To watch the park fill up with snow.

My daughter does think it queer

To stopwith without a Starbucks near.

Between the woods and frozen lake,

The snowiest day of the year.

She gives her cell phone a shake,

To check if there is some mistake.

The only sound she can keep,

Is the cell phones gentle beep.

The woods are snowy, light and deep,

But I have many chores to keep.

And dishes to do before I sleep.

And washing to do before I sleep.

Sorry Mr. Frost!
