Analysis of Snowball fight



It's late in March
and we've received
An unexpected spring
Surprise.
A late snowfall.
Some are crabby,But we aren't.
It sounds so strange
I have the urge,
To have a snowball fight.
My friends both smile,
And say let's do it!
We run outside and play us three.
We look like fools!
But we don't care.
I feel the hand of time
Turn back a little bit.
And I feel young again.
