White, fluffy flakes that fall They cover my boots and my gloves with white Piled up so high it makes me feel small Making snowballs packed in so tight As I come in shivering cold Out comes hot chocolate nice and warm I drink it down tastes so bold And on my face a smile takes form Elizabethan Warfaree

Elizabethan weapons were a time for change as the feudal system was ending and monarchs no longer depended on feudal lords to provide them with weapons. Firearms were becoming increasingly popular to kill and destroy. The canon was made of bronze and iron and fired stone or metal balls. This powerful device was used to take out walls and big groups of people. The musket was a slow loading gun that shot a tiny piece of metal. The bullet would enter and flatten coming out of the body in a much larger hole. The rapier was a short sword that generals often had. They would use this to kill anyone who got through their forces and to finish off any stragglers. With the inventions of these new weapons the weapons such as spears and bows became no match for the guns of the Elizabethan era.
