A snow day on the second day of spring
An unusual celebration – what will the day bring?
World Book Day and snowy terrain
The perfect setting to tell a tale
Of a boy 3.4 feet tall, age 4
He set out on a journey this morn
To create a wonderland not of winter but spring
He started with snow butterflies decorated with twigs shaped in rings
He built a snowman – because he wanted to
With sunglasses and a peak cap
A smile made of petals and a banana nose – as Mum used all the carrots in the stew
The snowman pointed the way to a powdery landscape
A worthy spot to build a castle – which turned out to look more like an igloo
But it will do
Find a special spot to bury treasure
Then man the castle and protect the grounds
Be prepared for potential snowy battles
Care was taken to make a mound of snow balls
And a great big wall
A fortress fit for a king – age 4 and 3.4 feet tall
No battle was had in the end
So he practised his swing hitting snowballs with a baseball bat
A snow day on the second day of spring
An unusual celebration
What fun it sure did bring
Time to retreat to enjoy hot chocolate and a hot cross bun
Then snuggle up with a book or two
Telling tales of kings and castles, snowmen and heroes
