As this poem has become somewhat of a tradition, and we are experiencing our first snowfall, it’s only right I should share this once again!! Enjoy!
I still don’t have the answer
To a question asked
So long ago
Why do you buy milk, eggs and bread
When someone mentions snow?
Does this sinfully sweet
Breakfast fare
Make us become a little manic
If we don’t get the ingredients
Do we all begin to panic?!
Do the slices of bread
With their cinnamon swirl
Remind you of riding a sled?
Or the soft golden butter
Melting over the top
Remind you of warm days ahead?
Do the fluffy white flakes
Falling down from the sky
Remind you of powdered confection?
Or the syrup that’s oozing
Dripping over the sides
Remind you of sweet perfection?
I want to know the simple truth
About this French Toast story
I’m pretty sure it’s not just snow
That gives it all its glory
Here’s the original story that asked the burning question: What Is It About Snow & French Toast?

Come closer, I’ll not bite you
That’s really quite absurd
Can’t you see, from the look in my eye
I am no ordinary bird
My feathers shine in ebony
The blackest you will ever see
I am not the raven spoken of
The one Edgar Allan knew
I really am quite different
I know this to be true
Though dark am I, as the evening sky
You’ll feel me near, as my wings fly by
Duck your head, protect your hair
The world above is mine
I’ll fly by you, without a care
I’m simply quite divine
Onyx, against the leaves of green
The most beautiful bird you’ve ever seen
No need to be frightened of me
If you stay in the distance, in fact
Shoo me away, and off I’ll go
But you can bet, one day, I’ll be back

She lifts
The midnight sky
With a touch of her hand
Allowing the light to shine through
Morning
As the darkest day ends, fleeing
Seeking newer places
To claim its own
She smiles
