Look out, Jack Frost is about!

Jack Frost

Look out! Look out!
Jack Frost is about!
He's after our fingers and toes;
And, all through the night,
The gay little sprite
Is working when nobody knows.

He'll climb each tree,
So nimble is he,
His silvery powder he'll shake:
To windows he'll creep,
And while we're asleep,
Such wonderful pictures he'll make.

Across the grass
He'll merrily pass,
And change all its greenness to white;
The home he will go,
And laugh, "Ho! ho! ho!
What fun I have had in the night!"

By Cecily E. Pike, taken from Harry Golding's book Verses For Children

He certainly had fun here last night!
