Hail Vs. Snow


                                                           Snow falls to the ground.
                                                                It mesmerizes me.
                                                              Thousands all at once,
                                                              but making no sound.
                                                                 As not to disturb
                                                              the sugar-plum dreams
                                                                   of the children
                                                                 on Christmas Eve.
                                                                 That is quite polite,
                                                                 if you think about it.
                                                       Whereas, hail just falls whenever
                                                             and wherever it pleases,
                                                                   often disrupting
                                                                 some dreams, and
                                                             more than that, I'm afraid.
                                                                  This nuisance just
                                                                 comes down right on
                                                                     people's heads.
                                                           It grins as it falls with a thunt!
                                                                  on the back of a cow.
                                                           It causes trouble everywhere.
                                                                  It smothers the grass.
                                                                      But its' fun slowly
                                                                   disappears, as it does.
                                                                       Slowly, slowly,
                                                                            melting
                                                                             away.
