In winter time when ice and sleet Make slidy places on the street, The children early leave their beds And rush out with their skates and sleds. All merrily the little dears Throw snowballs in each other's ears; And thus with pretty playful ways Beguile the white and wintry days. Oh, Venerable Veterans, I hate to disarrange your plans; But truly, if you try this game You will go home all stiff and lame. |
