no snow, lots of snow

all the UK covered

towns, villages and roads

with heavy snow, blizzards

frozen day and night

children in Cornwall

see all the snow in tv

the air feels so cold

outside on grass for play

across the country schools

closed due to snowy roads

snowmen, sledging, great fun

play from morn to night

their school stays open

disappointment here 

playing out at breaks

winter gardens muddy mess

this divide of weather types

up country, cross the Tamar

seems unfair to Cornish children

who watch, so near and yet so far
