Plow Fairy

Once upon a winter’s day, a man fell through the snow.
He’d plunged into a well-sized hole, a spot he did not know.
When climbing out proved too much task, he just looked to survive.
The melted snow and frozen plants are what kept him alive.
Alas, the sun appeared and softened walls so he could climb.
He got out ‘fore the next snow fell, seemingly just in time.
Since then, he swore he’d help out folks who found the white stuff scary.
He bought a truck, with blade attached, and became the Plow Fairy.
He cleaned the drifted driveways of the elderly and sick.
Just plow ’em fast and drive away. That was his magic trick.
He never left a message, just boot footprints by the door.
He didn’t need rewards or thanks, not what his mission’s for.
And so it went, another sprite to make the winter merry.
Those who’ve caught a glimpse always shout, “Thank you, Snow Plow Fairy!”
