To The Atlanta Constertushin

Snow storm down in Georgy,

     Depth three inches, whew!

Clean down tew Atlanta,

     How she must hev snew!

Snow storm down in Georgy,

     Snow three inches deep;

Think they’ve hadder blizzard;

     Can’t nobuddy sleep!

Big snow storm in Georgy,

     Can’t believe our eyes;

Hope ‘tain’t snow bound Stanton,

     So he can’t poetize.

Frank Lebby Stanton (February 22, 1857 – January 7, 1927), frequently credited as Frank L. Stanton, Frank Stanton or F. L. Stanton, was an American lyricist. He was also the initial columnist for the Atlanta Constitution and became the first poet laureate of the State of Georgia, a post to which he was appointed by Governor Clifford Walker in 1925 and which Stanton held until his death.
