Johnny's Mistake.

Little Johnny,
Aged four,
Stood in Mammals
Kitchen door,
Wondering at
The ashen hue
Of the sky
Before so blue;
Wondering why
So cold each flaw;
Wondering why
No sun he saw.
Suddenly something
Caught his eye,
Coming from
The darkened sky;
Something white
And strange and dancing,
Something lively white
Came prancing.
Little Johnny
With surprise
In his wondering
Brownish eyes
To his mamma
In he dashes,
Crying, SNOW
Its raining ashes"
Mamma smiled
And answered so:
"Johnny, don't you
Know it's snow?"
