Explore "A Cold Day" by Carolyn Wells on Textopian. Read with annotations and highlights.
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.
