These seasons change so quickly, we look but never see,
Our hectic lives so tightly woven, we can hardly breath.
Colored lights are flashing, red buckets they do ring,
Now’s the time for Santa, with all the debt he brings.

Counting down the seconds from Lombardi to Dick Clark.

The Arctic wind blows bitter, stinging hands, ears, and eyes.
That “Spanish Boy” has spoiled us, these shovels aren’t in use,
Then “old man” winter moves in, his trip long overdue.
Evening temps do plummet, the “old man” cracks a smile,
He throws a quilted blizzard, atop this ten inch pile.
This month will last forever, inside his icy grip,
Let’s not wait for April, to make that Florida trip.
