Today’s word is “salutary” ... promoting or conducive to some beneficial purpose; wholesome. (Dictionary.com)
Early
Snow is on the ground,
I’m sure there is a reason,
But what salutary thing,
Could there be for this cold season?
The squirrels are running madly,
To find a nut or two,
Birds are on the feeders,
Hoping for something new.
Children in down are swaddled,
Adults are wearing mittens,
Not many living creatures,
Seem with this false winter smitten.
So this stuff mysterious,
Water frozen into snow,
Must advance the earth’s production,
But how? I suppose God knows!
