Poem Artwork

Deep freeze we’ve of late had,

Pipes freezin’ been really bad,

Very little snow though, Rufuz sad,

Able to keep my car clean, makes me glad…

 

Forty-five degrees,

Ain’t that the bee’s knees,

Everything did defrost,

Windows open to air out,

The cold on its way here,

Must have gotten lost…

 

It ain’t the tropics,

But warmer air a better topic,

Two days of warmth out of a hundred,

May seem to you only microscopic,

But to us it feels like spring,

Next week again we will feel the winters sting…

If it's any consolation, it's gone back to being cold here as well on the west coast, Ed. Love and peace to you and to Rufuz,

Ed,

Thanks for the perspective in this poem. You must live in a really cold climate, huh?

I am sure you will enjoy it when the temperature gets higher and higher! It always that way in your Den. Better open the windows, and let some air into this room..." Lyric Credit: Three Dog Night --- "Momma Told Me Not to Come." --- Rockie Coppolella

We all have to bear old man winter. You no less than us, unless you move to the tropics. Just breathe deeply and enjoy the cold and the snows that are to come. Winter will have its way with us.
