Irish language classes cancelled this morning at the GDICC-Jan 21, 2012

A chairde:
Due to the road conditions our classes are cancelled for today.  Classes will resume next Saturday. 

Ó! Féach an fear sneachta
Ó! Tá sé go deas:
Tá hata dubh ar a cheann
Agus carbhat glas

Fear sneachta, fear sneachta,
Fear sneachta bog bán;
Fear sneachta, fear sneachta.
Amuigh ar an mbán.

Tá cnaipí ina chóta
Agus píopa ina bhéal:
Ó!  Tá sé go hiontach,
M'fhear sneachta féin.

A very appropriate poem for today about a snowman.  Well-known in Ireland.  Enjoy!
