There was a middle-aged Momma
who lived at the Manor
with two kinder, the Mrs.
Life couldn’t be grander.
Little and Big
went to school each day
to learn and experience
the progressive way.
The thing that would happen
as in all schools, they do
Farshtunkeneh germs
and dreck like the flu.
We were crawling with what
must have been going around
a cure for this mishegas
could not be found.
Those microbes are causing such chaos, you see
for Little and Big, the Mrs. and me
with every ‘–itis’ kaynahorah, we all seem to catch
it’s no wonder we sound just like one great big kvetch.
On Sunday we said, “Enough is enough!”
let’s stop this kockamayme condition
Let’s go outside and feel the sun on our backs
We can’t sit here and keep up this bitchin’.
So we picked up our meds, we headed outdoors
to meet Nonna at the arbor museum
we laughed, ran and played on this beautiful site
we had fun, we were happy and gleesome!
For those we encountered as we sought healthier ground
Please know we dare not have shared
For Jonas had left us a blanket of snow
Killing germs while we romped unimpaired

Hi Cindy!
Oh my, they are so amazing! Here is a link to tell you more about them–http://www.business-services.upenn.edu/arboretum/events_patrick_dougherty.shtml
The Morris Arboretum is part of the University of Pennsylvania, and is absolutely wonderful. Delightful all times of the year. Nonna, just got us a membership, so I can imagine many more visits to this lovely wonderland minutes away from us!
Have a super day!

Never thought about taking an illness outside and romping around with it before.

You may have convinced me that there is one good thing to come from snow if it can help kill germs. A great poem (im now going to google all the words I dont recognise)
