It's coming down thick and fast now and settling. They're gonna be hyper!

Here's my response:

Only Snow
By Allan Ahlberg
Outside, the sky was almost brown
The clouds were hanging low.
Then all of a sudden it happened:
The air was full of snow.
The children rushed to the windows.
The teacher let them go,
Though she teased them for their foolishness.
After all, it was only snow.
It was only snow that was falling,
Only out of the sky,
Only onto the turning earth
Before the blink of an eye.
What else could it do from up here,
But fall in its usual way?
It was only weather, really.
What else could you say?
The teacher sat at her desk
Putting ticks in a little row,
While the children stared through the steamy glass
At the only snow.
