MINNESOTA WINTER WONDERLAND
I REMEMBER THE BITTER COLD AND SNOW, IN MINNESOTA WINTER WONDERLAND:
IN THE FREEZING COLD OUTSIDE, YOU WILL GET FROST BITE WITHOUT A WARM GLOVE ON YOUR HAND:
WE WOULD DRESS UP WITH LAYERS OF WARM CLOTHING,BEFORE WE WOULD DARE TO EVEN GO OUTSIDE:
EVERY INCH OF SKIN, WE HAD TO COVER AND PROTECT, FROM THE COLD AND SAFELY HIDE:
ALWAYS KEEP WARM YOUR FEET, HANDS AND HEAD:
OR IN A SHORT WHILE, BACK IN THE HOUSE YOU WILL BE LEAD:
YOUR BREATH, YOU CAN SEE IT IN THE COLD WINTER AIR:
BUT AS KIDS, WE HAD SO MUCH FUN PLAYING ALL WINTER, WED BUNDLE UP AND RUN AROUND, WE DIDNT CARE:
WHEN IT SNOWED, WE WISHED THAT IT WOULD NEVER STOP:
WE HOPED TEN FEET OF SNOW BY MORNING WAS DROPPED:
IT WAS SO COOL TO WAKE UP IN THE MORNING, AND SEE A BEAUTIFUL BLANKET OF FRESH SNOW,COVERING EVERY INCH OF THE GROUND:
WE KNEW WHEN IT SNOWED ALOT, SCHOOL WAS CANCELLED AND WE WERE SO HAPPY TO BE HOME BOUND:
WE WOULD BE QUICK TO BE OUTSIDE, FROM DAY TO NIGHT:
BUILDING A FORT, AND HAVING AN ALL OUT WAR SNOW BALL FIGHT:
WE LOVED TO SEE THE SNOW PLOWS COMING, DOWN THE STREET:
AS KIDS, WE THOUGHT THAT WAS PRETTY NEAT:
ONCE THE SNOW PLOWS CAME THROUGH, PLOWED THE STREETS AND WERE GONE:
WE WOULD BE OUT IN THE STREETS, PLAYING BEFORE LONG:
WE PLAYED POM, POM PULL AWAY, AND HOCKEY, AND SKATED ON THE ICE AND SNOW, WE HAD SO MUCH FUN, WHEN WE GOT CALLED TO COME IN THE HOUSE AT NUGHT FALL WE DIDNT WANT TO GO:
THE MINNESOTA WINTER WONDERLAND:
MANY WINTERS AS A KID I DID WITHSTAND:
NOW I HAVE BEEN SPOILED SINCE I JOINED THE MARINES IN 1975,LEFT MINNESOTA, AND AVE BEEN LIVING IN THE CALIFORNIA SUN:
I OWN SOCKS, GLOVES AND SCARF COAT AND STOCKING CAP NONE:
BUT I REMEMBER WELL, THE BITTER COLD AND DEEP SNOW OUTSIDE:
BUILDING A SNOW FORT WAS OUR FUN AND PRIDE:
IN THE MINNESOTA WINTER WONDERLAND, WE SPENT ALL OUR TIME PLAYING OUTSIDE:
MAKING A SNOW FORT, SLED RIDING, ICE SCATTING, SNOW BALL FIGHTING,PLAYING HIDE AND SEEK, POM POM PULL AWAY, THE DEEPER THE SNOW THE DEEPER OUR PRIDE:
THE MINNESOTA, WINTER WONDERLAND, WITH EXTREME ICE, COLD AND SNOW:
AS A KID GROWING UP IN MINNESOTA, I LOVED EVERY WINTER FULL:
