Bragging rights... my sad little soul likes the sound of that.

Come, little snowflake,

Shimmer to the ground.

Not so far from us, are you?

Not so safe and sound.

Come, little snowman,

Stuck and small and dealt

Not so far from us, are you?

For one day you will melt.

Come, little snowballs,

Crash upon the gravel,

Not so far from us, are you?

Fighting a pointless battle.

Come, weary blizzard,

Hated, maimed and grey

Not so far from us, are you?

Simply underestimated.

But come, roaring fire,

Safe and lovely and warm,

Not so far from us, are you?

You bring good feelings to all.

But come, weary travellers,

Sit near thy brother and sister

You know who we are, don't you?

No different from the winter.
