would soon cease.
At o'clock the snow was coming
down for fair. and she shook her head
in solemn way as she looked out of
the window
At O'Clock there were sleishs kiting
along the streets, and Mrs Bowser
realized that she was in for it,
At o'clock it was blowing and drift

He would plow about five feet and
then begin to mutter
At 10 feet he would begin swearing.
At 20 feet he would lay it to Mrs.
Halfway down to his gate he would
decide to raise the biggest row ever
heard in North America
