When the snow began to fall The snow has come thick and fast But how long will it last I can see blue skies And African elephants In my picture And the animals are parading In the street The Winter Festival has begun All the sledges are busy And snowballs are being thrown The cars are sliding And birds are flying The snowmen are dancing And flying the ice is melting Safe at home at last Beside a cosy fire The worries are gone and The stew''s on the cooker And dreams of summer holidays Are being looked at The hats and gloves are hanging Up and footprints are being covered Up the snow has come thick and Fast but how long will it last KENNETH MOOD, Swalwell.
