The alarm stayed quiet, the bus stayed away,
A message popped up: “Snow day today!”
Pajamas till noon, hot cocoa in hand,
Homework forgotten—this wasn’t the plan.

Snow days are fun, but they come with a cost:
The sidewalks were buried, the hydrants were lost.
So boots were pulled on and mittens were found,
“Congrats,” said the grown-ups, “you’re helping the town.”

Out they marched with shovels too big,
Tell Lambton Shores there’s no need for their rigs.
They chipped and they scraped till what could be seen?
A fire hydrant! Emerging from the white winter sheen.

Snow flew everywhere, cheeks rosy and red,
“Way better than math!” one kid happily said.
Even closed classrooms can still teach a way,
To help out the community, and brighten the day!

🚒❄️☕️

Please consider clearing your neighborhood hydrant IF SAFE to do so!
Seconds save lives
