The Month is January
and we shall have snow
with snowmen and sleigh rides
I can't wait to go
*****************************
Snowflake, Snowflake falling fast
How long will they stay I ask
just to put the grass to sleep
lay a cover and away we creep
*****************************
Jack Frost raps on the windowpane
and knocks at the door with his icicle cane
Excuse me, I said,
The door was shut, tight
I'd rather you didn't come in tonight
so he wrote his name all over the glass
and the baby sneezed when she heard him pass, ....Achew!!
