Bertie and the Snow

Bertie woke up Sunday morning and to his great surprise
The ground was white and sparkling before his very eyes
He rushed to wake the bunnies as quick as he could hop
So that they could all see it before the snow began to stop
The bunnies were very excited and dashed outside to play
Laughing and excited that they had no school that day
They built a big snow rabbit and had a snowball fight
Then made some snow angels when it was getting night
Bessie called them in for supper and for a special treat
She had made a carrot stew and herby dumplings to eat
And when the meal was over the bit they liked the most
They sat beside the fire with pink marshmallows to toast
