80 Degrees; Ho-Humm
Not gloating
Nor bragging
Though it may seem
However
When seeing
When hearing
How those to the east
Are faring on this day
Upon hearing of
Sub-zero weather
Excluding the many
Added minuses
For wind-chill factors
When seeing
Traffic at a stand-still
Due to icy roads
Due to howling
Blowing snow
Due to the skid of cars
Due to the spin of
Non-tractioned wheels
Additionally
Due to visibly impairing
White-out conditions
When I think of the
Millions upon millions
Of you coldly huddled
Back east masses
That viewed the
Five mile
Pasadena Parade
I knew your hearts…
I just know
The hearts of
You coldly huddled
Back east masses
Were absolutely…
Are absolutely
Heart-broken
Seeing how we in
Southern California
Must suffer with and in
Eighty degree weather.
Not gloating
Nor bragging
Though it may seem
I know
How sad you
Coldly huddled
Back east masses
Feel for us.
Oh, Jeeze
Kody’s barking to go out
And have to change
Into shorts and sandals.
Oh, Jeeze!!

I wish it were that warm in sunny Florida, been really chilly here.
Could use some warmer weather.

Ha ha!
You are cheeky! :)
It is very cold, yes, and dry. I love the winter, though, honestly. It's difficult to get out on the coldest of days such as this, but most days I love the crisp air.
