Snow Day

I awoke to the alarm's loud sounding blare, intruding, impolite, but I couldn't care. Excited for sleep, rubbing groggy, tired eyes, I open the shudders and peered outside.
Daydreaming late of ground covered white, I had hoped it would snow many feet in the night.
Expecting a cancel, or maybe delay, I hadn't done homework for the next day.
As my eyes adjusted to the sun's warm rays, I let out a sigh, for to my dismay, no blankets of wintery goodness did lay. Instead, the ground was frozen and dry, more than my pillow upon which I cried. Suddenly, my gloom was interrupted as I heard a faint ring, a call from the school, the forcasting wing.
"School's out for the day" a robotic voice said, it couldn't be true, it was all in my head.
Then I remembered, I live in virginia, where snow is a fantasy and an inch'll kill ya.
Yes, good ole' va, not jersey or maine, they'll cancel for anything, hell, even rain!
