(new lyrics for an old song)
When the weather outside is frightful,
The chipmunk's home's delightful,
They've got all that stuff they stow,
Let it snow, let it snow, let it snow!
~ ~ ~
It doesn't show signs of stopping,
But chipmunks don't go shopping,
There's no place they have to go,
Let it snow, let it snow, let it snow!
~ ~ ~
I want Christmases to be white,
Though I hate going out when it's cold.
In the summer, I'll be alright,
But, until then, I'm "on hold"!
~ ~ ~
The chipmunks are hibernatin',
When it's warm, they'll be awakenin',
I can't wait for them to show...
No more snow, no more snow, no more snow!
~ ~ ~
Author notes
ALVIN!!! (Remember the Chipmunks' Song?)
(I was surprised to learn that chipmunks hibernate in the winter just like bears. I used to wonder about those cute little critters...they're snug as a bug in their holes.)

Cute poem and cute pictures and background. I agree that the chipmunks are to be envied in the winter. Don't we wish that we could hibernate like that?
-
Haha!! Sounds more children like than the original "let it snow". I enjoyed this so much and actually sang it. So cute and adorable for the Chipmunks.
Hope you had a happy new year.

How cheery, that really put me in the mood.
Chipmunks are quite darling little critters, although I don't think they have them in my neck of the woods.

I like snow when it first happens in the season...so refreshing. And i need snow...just a wee bit around...on Christmas. But after December 25th, i am more than ready for Spring! Heck, i am already more than ready for Spring. I have had enough for the season.
This was really cute...never gave much thought to those little chipmunk critters...but now when my daughter asks me where they go in the Winter (because she is always asking stuff like that!)...i can tell her.

Really enjoyed this, Maureen! Cute chipmunk and I could hear the music in my head. I want it to snow until the holidays are over, then I'm ready for spring. Keep writing!

This was so cute. I love chipmunks. I think they are so cute. We don't have many around here where I live they are further north but when I visited a Canandian park there were tons running around and when I threw them acorns they came out and got them. I could played with all day, am I pathetic or what. How nice it would be to be chipmunk and be able to sleep all winter.

Happy Happy joy joy! Hee hee your writes always bring a bigger smile to my face (Even though I smile 99.9% of the time hee hee) this is really a great write...who would have thought of adapting chipmunks into "Let it Snow" very unique and most certainly creative idea!! Though your background is making me a little chilly...
Much thanks for sharing
Cheerios!

-
wonderful!
I love it! Made me 
! Thanks for this wonderful rewrite of that old song. I'm gonna memorize it and sing it for the rest of the holidays.

Coming from a place where we haven't had moisture much of /any/ kind, I'd welcome the snow. True to the desert, it may be in the teens or twenties during the night, but 60s during the day. I wouldn't mind a FEW days of being holed up in front of a fireplace! I could hibernate for a while! BUT, anything longer than a week, and I'd have cabin fever, for sure!
Cute poem! ...and adorable graphic!

This is adorable Maureen. I'm ready for no more snow myself since it snowed here two weekends in a row. And it's not even winter yet. Thanks for the giggle.
