In the still of the night
The landscape transformed
As Jack Frost and his Flakes
Became a winter storm
~
They danced and they sang
A finely choreographed number
Chilling the air
As the town folks did slumber
~
Jack and his Flakes
Reached far and wide
Freezing everything, they could
Leaving nowhere to hide
~
But the reception received
The very next morning
Was a chorus of curses
And massive traffic jams forming
~
So, Jack gathered his Flakes
And gave a pep talk
“These folks don’t understand.
They don’t know what they want!
~
So, tonight we’ll go bigger;
More ice, snow, and sleet.
We’ll pile it higher
Tonight, while they sleep!”
~
The very next morning
All was covered in ice
As the town folks cursed more
That the storm had hit twice
~
But Jack brushed it off
As folks not yet ready
“I’ll take my Flakes up North
Where the reception is friendly.”
~
To ski country, they went
To spread snow upon the slopes
And in the morning, they heard
Cheers of thanks from mountain folk
