Analysis of The Beginning of a Snowball Fight
The Beginning of a Snowball Fight
The snow is soft,
So easy to mould,
Into a snowball,
For you to hold,
As you finish it up,
With a pat, pat, pat
A devious desire overcomes you.
As you pull your arm back,
And whip it forward,
You hear a familiar, satisfying SMACK.
