There was a young lad from skye
Who ate a rather stale pie

There was a young lad from skye
Who ate a rather stale pie
He said “Och, that’s rank”

There was a young lad from skye
Who ate a rather stale pie
He said “Och, that’s rank”
To high heaven it stank

There was a young lad from skye
Who ate a rather stale pie
He said “Och, that’s rank”
To high heaven it stank
And no more at that shop did he buy!

There once came a wind from the east

There once came a wind from the east
Bringing snow and named the 'beast'

There once came a wind from the east
Bringing snow and named the 'beast'
It stopped trains and planes

There once came a wind from the east
Bringing snow and named the 'beast'
It stopped trains and planes
And it stung my chilblains

There once came a wind from the east
Bringing snow and named the ‘beast’
It stopped trains and planes
And it stung my chilblains
Ability to cope with cold weather’s decreased

I remember when I was a child

There once came a wind from the east
Bringing snow and named the ‘beast’
It stopped trains and planes
And it stung my chilblains
So we huddled indoors till it ceased!

On Britain fell pretty white snow

There once came a wind from the east
Bringing snow and named the ‘beast’
It stopped trains and planes
And it stung my chilblains
Ability to cope with cold weather’s decreased

I remember when I was a child
And winters were not often so mild

I remember when I was a child
And winters were not often so mild
We still went to school

I remember when I was a child
And winters were not often so mild
We still went to school
Were we considered a fool?

I remember when I was a child
And winters were not often so mild
We still went to school
Were we considered a fool?
No, I think we were rather admired.

I want to go sledging, but no snow yet

Me? I write verse - I’m a poet

I want to go sledging but no snow yet
I've got my gear on, I'm totally set

I want to go sledging but no snow yet
I've got my gear on, I'm totally set
But so sick of waiting

I want to go sledging but no snow yet
I've got my gear on, I'm totally set
But so sick of waiting
And am so anticipating

I want to go sledging but no snow yet
I've got my gear on, I'm totally set
But so sick of waiting
And am so anticipating
The post-sledge hot chocolate I'll get!

Today I was out in a blizzard

Today I was out in a blizzard
When I spotted a near-frozen lizard

Today I was out in a blizzard
When I spotted a near-frozen lizard
So I brought it indoors

Today I was out in a blizzard
When I spotted a near-frozen lizard
So I brought it indoors
Where it opened its jaws

Today I was out in a blizzard
When I spotted a near-frozen lizard
So I brought it indoors
Where it opened its jaws
and its sat there and just shivered!!!

Pre-empting the next bad snow storm
