SOME WINTERTIME AMUSEMENTS
Christmas is gone so what can we folks do
The hours of sunshine each day are very few
Some days we look out and the sky is all grey
So we stay in with a new game we learn to play
Others may go to a warm southern destination
While the rest of us stay in this cold frozen nation
Puzzles of all kinds some folks do each day
As they know it helps to pass the time away
And others read books to see what they can learn
Since its for the true story they always yearn
While some write a poem or letter by the fireplace
To a friend or a relative as they can’t see their face
Others feel its best to call a friend on the phone
As some may not know they are alone in their house
And movies will be watched with the heat turned on
While they wait again for the cold weather to be gone
Older folks will knit some socks or a hat
And if tough times loom we’ll all do more of that
We’ll have snowmobiles as they go down the trail
So I pray they’ll get home safely without fail
Snowshoes aren’t used much like they were years ago
As they were the only way then to get over the snow
The lake can be cleared and folks can have a skate
While children can feed birds and a snowman make
And others can go skiing which may give them a thrill
Or ride a toboggan once again down a snowy hill
Let covid be gone or again we’ll all be found
At home with our family in another lockdown.
