Snow blankets the ground like white choco(late)
to dinner means no biscuits (for) you<\/p>\n\n\n\n
a small down-payment, we can guarantee love, happin(es)s,<\/p>\n\n\n\n
cape routes include the front door, the (fire) escape, the mind<\/p>\n
burns the hands if held too tight. Like(wise), the heart
as your grandmother was, she couldn\u2030\u042b\u0404t out-figu(re) time<\/p>\n
claim the roads: plant snow peas on the yel(low) line
man on the pole gets to shovel<\/p>\n\n\n
