Snow Day, Twirly Dress

The snowstorm has shut down everything
and there's so much time to waste
so I didn't even shower until noon
And when I did I was in there for an hour
because it's cold outside and the water is warm
so I crank the heat and steam the bathroom up
And when I finally get out and get dressed
I don't really know what to wear
I'm not going out today so why bother anyway?
I'm staying inside so why dress warm?
I think I'll just wear my twirly dress
My twirly dress is comfortable and smooth
and it might be just a little bit too small
but I really don't care because
I'm not going anywhere today
So I turn on the music and I blast it 
and dance like I'm some superstar
I twirl in a circle till I'm dizzy
and eventually fall to the floor 
then I roll over and over and over
until my hair is a total mess
but I don't care I think I look my best
with my tousled hair and my twirly dress
And when I get chilly I throw on my robe
which has an adorable raccoon hood
and I put on some fuzzy socks and slippers
which really is a snow day kind of look
And I lay on my floor reading books
then I watch a movie with my family
and now I'm back on my floor 
and I'm reading some more
and I'm still wearing my twirly dress
The house is really quiet
and I smell something cooking
so I go to investigate the kitchen
I see two loaves of bread on the counter
and my mom is preparing chicken for dinner
and the house is so calm and content
So I go back to my room and write a poem
and guess what? I'm still in my twirly dress
Now I get out my stuffed animals
which I haven't touched in months
and play with them for old times sake 
Then I dance in front of the mirror
for once feeling happy with my looks
So I twirl and twirl and twirl
and giggling I strike a fancy pose
And the snowflakes are still falling
through the air and landing in a pile
but I don't really care because
it's warm inside and I feel great
better than I have in a while
Now I feel my eyes get heavy
and I know that I'll sleep well tonight
and maybe in my dreams 
the snow won't be so cold
and I'll probably be wearing
my twirly dress
