This funny poem about winter is a well-loved poem by kids as it’s hilarious and relatable to their emotions.
“I made myself a snowball,
as perfect as could be.
I thought I’d keep it as a pet,
and let it sleep with me.
I made it some pyjamas,
And a pillow for its head.
Then last night, it ran away.
But first, it wet the bed.”

“Life is more fun if you play games.” ― Roald Dahl, My Uncle Oswald
