In a snowy blanket of flawless fleece

We stitch swirling threads of weaving footprints

A perfect day to play some Fox and Geese

*

Our stomp-stomp-stomping might disturb the peace

Clearing snow to leave a wheel shaped imprint

In a snowy blanket of flawless fleece

*

Add a couple goose nests for short term lease

Dad becomes the first fox! It's time to sprint!

A perfect day to play some Fox and Geese

*

Never wanted the wild goose chase to cease

Though nowadays I feel quite different

But I still love a snowy flawless fleece

And a perfect day to play Fox and Geese
