1078

I don't like snow - I suppose that I don't mind

The stuff on Christmas cards or on TV

But not the real wet and chilly kind.

I don't like snow.

There was a time when I'd happily be

Out hiking in a blizzard, where the wind

Whipped round my ears and I could hardly see

Because of ice on eyelids; but refined

By age and custom, I prefer the sea

In summer, downland springs and autumn's vines.

I don't like snow.
