Bill, you remind me, I have had this for a time in the same vein

I see the snow
As I knead the dough
And hear the kids come in
Their coats they slough
They've had enough
Of games outside freezing

Down by the lough
The old town clock
Has sent them hungry back
They drink and scoff
With many a cough
At cake and Barm brack

They've had enough
of play so rough
on winter afternoon
upon cold stones
but tea and scones
revives them all too soon
