Analysis of Snow
I look at the snow cascade from the sky,
And can't help myself from wondering why?
What useless a purpose the white stuff it servers,
Other than get on most people's nerves.
Snow has no function--it falls for no reason,
But fall it will do, in one given season.
It causes such trouble, and makes such a mess,
Emergency services put under duress.
Authorities can't cope; "It came unexpected!"
Blaming the forecasts that never detected.
A first world country, now brought to its knees --
regardless of taxpayers bountiful fees.
It won't go to waste though; the kids will enjoy it,
They'll find many ways to fully employ it.
I love snow.
