In the SNOW Covered Winter COLD

In the SNOW
COVERED
Winter
Freezing
COLD

A person has to
Be Motivated
Strong
And
BOLD

When I was a Minnesota
BOY
Playing
In the SNOW it
Was my night and Day
Fun
Delight
And
JOY

When it wa
SNOWING
My
HEART-LIGHT
Would be Beaming and so
Happy
And
Excitingly
GLOWING
As a
Young
JOHNBOY

We use to Wear
Layers  and
LAYERS
Of
Socks from very thin to
THICK

To keep our FEET
WARM
As when walking in out
Winter Insulated
Green BOOTS
Our feet  were WARM
But
felt as
HEAVY
As a
Two TON
BRICK

So when my Brother and
I
Shoveled SNOW
For folks and
got PAID
Five Dollars for an
HOUR
Of walkway
And drive Way

It was an
EXHAUTING
FEAT
With
So much
WEIGHT
Of many many
MANY
Layers of SOCKS
On
Our
FEET
Every
Snowy
Coldly
Freezing
DAY

So we GOT
SMART
QUICK

And we
SOLVED
The
Heavy SOCK
Exhausting Load
On our--Cold
FEET
So
Two Ton Bricks
Heavy
And
THICK

So with one
very  very  very
Thin
SOCK
Then one other
Over
TOP
Then a--Plastic
Wonder Bread
SACK
Over the
Second
SOCK
Then one
Final
Larger   thicker
SOCK
Over the
Wonder Bread Plastic
Bag
And we
We're
Good to GO
FASTer ----a---ShoveLING
And
Just as WARM
As
Cinnamon
Butter
Jam
And
TOAST

With no more
HEAVY
Two TON
BRICK
Sock
After
Sock
After SOCKS
Of at least
FIVE
PAIR
That was
So ---Heavily---EXHAUSTING
To be out about and
WALKING
And
The hardest thing to be
SHOVELING--and--SHOVELING
SomeTIMES
All DAY-LONG
Snow
House to house
And Making our Hard
Earned Money
WORKING
The
MOST

But the
WONDER
BREAD
Sacks on Cold FEET

It works
PERFECTLY
And the
Warmth stays on
You're every
Big to
Little
TOE
And
BEATS
And
DEFEATS
The
Cold
And
Heavy TWO TON
Socks
And it's a Cool
Trick
And
Pretty
Neat
In beating
The
Cold with
Wonder Bread Plastic sacks
Happy
Insulated
HEAT
