Too Hard to Resist

My forehead is furrowed,
A gleam fills my eye,
He's long been inside me,
Such a sly little guy,

For this blanket of white,
Is a great lure to him,
Each time it is falling,
Whether iced, grey or grim,

He cannot resist it,
For though cold it may be,
He'll make his appearance,
Just you watch, wait and see!

Well over forty now,
With the years comes the pain,
Deterrants matter not,
He will show up again,

Picking up a handful,
Then packing it so tight,
DUCK! Here comes a snowball

Author notes

No, the end doesn't rhyme, but it's just like a snowball - It usually catches you off guard.

    LOL

    I laughed out loud reading those last lines. Excellent. No need for authors notes, those lines are absolutely effective.

    I liked this a great deal. Well done. You have put a smile on my face.

    Best of luck in the judging. ~Pamela
