“Snow Gear,” read by Pat Severin.
Snow Gear
by Pat Severin
Do I have to wear this snowsuit?
This scarf and all this stuff?
These boots, these socks, my hat & gloves …
Say, when’s enough, enough?
It takes forever just to dress,
And when at last I’m done,
I’m just so bundled up that I
Can’t even walk or run!
I feel like a winter robot
As I wear Mom’s good intentions.
Except for freezing eskimos,
These clothes aren’t good inventions!
