In my home town,
Never did we frown,
We always found something to do,
We were little animals in a self-imposed zoo…
Surely we had the beach in summer,
And in winter we had lots of snow,
The snow accumulated at the edge of the ocean,
And there we would play tempting the fates,
But sometimes the fates were not in our favor,
For slipping in the snow & falling into the cold ocean was a definite bummer…
We also had snow forts on the street,
The little islands faced each other and were really neat,
We would have snowball wars & bomb each other,
Nothing ever too dangerous as we were all friends,
Some of us were then and are still almost brothers.

I also remember fighting the bigger kids in huge snowball wars.
The forts would come crashing down as they tried to kick some ass!
Snowball forts in our neighborhood in Brooklyn NY did not last!
Still... It was FUN! LOL
The only thing that ruined the fun was not a snowball, but an ice ball. It was really shocking to get hit in the head with one of those!
