I don't shovel snow

Inspiration for this came from William Bonilla! Thanks, Bill

I don’t shovel snow…


 


I use my Jeep to create a path,


I know the problems of hurting my back,


As you get older against you is the math,


I therein don’t much worry about old man winters snowy wrath…


 


In point of fact,


A shovel I do not at all own,


I do however have a foldable model,


I keep in the Jeep in case I am far from home…


 


So let the kids get out and shovel that snow,


Their cheeks can then be all red and aglow,


For them the adults do feed and clothe,


I would consider their work to be quid pro quo…

Just got back in from helping all my elderly neighbors shovel snow - and look what I find! Get back out there, Brother, and pitch in. Rufuz will get all warm and fuzzy watching you.

PS How much do you pay these kids? I'm always looking for odd jobs.
