December’s barren ground

Autumn now long over

Snowflakes flying, earthbound

Winter’s white sweet clover

Village sleeping tonight

Children dreaming of snow

Crystal-clear sky’s moonlight

Changing to whitest glow

Beginning to drop in

Targeted flurries fall

Playful snowstorm begins

Winter finally calls

Snowy pace never wanes

Flakes now piling up high

Truckers reaching for chains

Driving where snowballs fly           

Wishful, children wake up

Stirring with loudest cheers

Sleds ready for tune-up

White Christmas comes this year
