Blue Norther

The reason it's called a "Blue Norther"
is because that's what color Texans
turn when one blows through--an arctic
cold front preceeded by warmer than
average temperatures. :) One came
through here yesterday.

the other day, we were nearly eighty
it was lovely--i enjoyed it, greatly
what a diff'rence from one day to the next
this is why i am writing in blue text

brrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr blue norther came through

if we're lucky, it's in the low forties
i'm wearin' my flannels, not my shorties :)
this happens a couple of times each year
but it's so cold...and i'm freezin' my rear

brrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr blue norther came through

you'd think i'd learn to prepare for the cold
but no!  texans are stubborn. they're quite bold
no wonder ev'erbody's got the 'flu
dang weather changes--ah--ahh--ahhh--ahhhh-CHOOOOO!!!!

brrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr blue norther came through

if it's like last time, the cold will not last
but right now...DANG...i'm a-freezin' my ASS
you lucky people get to hear me whine
just like i do in the hot summertime!!!!

brrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr blue norther came through

Karla, Hon,
I'd change our 4 degrees for your double degrees any time :)! We've got a winter storm watch, loads of snow on the ground and the flakes are changing to freezing rain. Move over, Texas here I come :)!
Great fun write.
;)Love,

Rarely do we see here in Somalia temperatures falling below 20 degrees centigrade. It is hot and dry most of the year. Rains do come on seasonal patterns but never snow falls. It is like hearing from a different planet when such weather conditions are reported or written about. Anyway your powerful poems always inspire me to write more.

You are too funny, Karla... I've experienced something like those way too often... living it subzero temps too many years... CA is a nice break although, it's been cold here lately too... find your favorite blanket and a cup of hot lemon water and honey, and you'll be nice and toasty...love and hugs to you..

So funny, Karla! My friend of 36+ years, Anita, called me today from Ft. Worth. It was 70 there yesterday and in the low twenties today. Of course, we here in Washington State are breaking all kinds of records, too: here in Tahuya (Olympic Peninsula) the last week, 4" of snow, then snow dusting, temps as low as 15 degrees and a massive storm moving in about 4 in the morning. It will dump anywhere from 6" to a foot of snow in our area. This is sooo uncommon! Great write! ~~Bonnie Q

Wasn't it you that asked for cooler winds? I just love granting requests like that........hehehehehe

Okay so why did you send it back so soon? LOL

Reviewed on January 5, 2004
Karla, you gotta' blame SOMEONE up north; they left their SOUTH door open, and the north wind came SOUTH!! LOL

Cute, cute write; seems like our Texas blood has thinned out (yours worse than mine; I can handle the cold a LOT better than you can, but wish we didn't have to put up with these achy-breaky JOINTS!); hell, I'd MUCH rather be cold than HOT!

(((HUGS))) and much love, your twin, Karen Lynn. :D

Want some more soup later? I'll gladly make us some if we get cold.....LOL
