A LITTLE CHILLY

A LITTLE CHILLY

Snow? I'd say we had a little,
'Bout six inches, more or less -
And the wind has gotten stronger;
I hear the roads are quite a mess.

Weatherman says to cheer us
That it may get up to 35 or so -
Right now it's reaching 20
So it has a-ways to go.

I've renamed the dog Icicle -
She takes awhile to defrost;
In the house turned up the heater,
Can't worry 'bout the cost.

Moon is out and it's a beauty
Of a night, if you like ice;
You say it's up to 55 or 57?
Hey, that must be really nice!

We're a hardy bunch of people,
Toughened by the wind and snow -
But if it gets any colder
I'll soon be 6 feet below.

It's true that I am aging!
No longer a sweet young filly;
But for now I'll just tell you
That it's getting a little chilly.

Spring is just around the corner;
Months of winter will go by..
I'll hold on to see the sunshine
And once more, a clear blue sky!
