Snow Day

Maple Syrup Love
Snow
bringer of sloppy roads
cheering children
and 
a Canadian breakfast 
like no other

Doesn't bother me none






I slip on snow pants
Grab the shovel
for the snow removal
and start slogging
for my daily Canuck-style exercises

Don't feel bad for me though
After a brief respite
in a snow bank
I dug back in 
to create a cozy cave
Big enough for 2 lovelies
or one big kid
intent 
on enjoying the best
that Canadian winter
has to offer

    1. @Brian: We even spray painted the cave with coloured water to add a festive flair to the lair. :)

      Didn't you ever go to a sugar bush in the spring? They used to always pour maple syrup on snow to show us how to make our very own candy. Mine was more like taffy, but if you cool it down enough, it's sweet candy that melts on the tongue. YUM!
