Accustomed

by Aurelio Rico Lopez III

Little Tim, on his way to school,

Zips up his jacket

As the first snowflakes

Fall to the ground.

Meanwhile, in the Alps,

On the highest peak,

Where the temperature is

Freeze-your-marbles-off

Degrees Celsius,

A yeti decides to have

Snowcones for dessert.
