A'Brewing

A storm's a'brewing, we've been told So all we'll need has now been sold. The supermarket shelves are bare, Depleted from what once was there. Aside from staples - milk and bread And other foods with which we're fed, For shovels many made a trip And icy-melt so we won't slip. The shoe stores' boots at last did sell And hats and mittens went as well. No what we'll do is sit and wait And dread it or anticipate. The children pray for heaps of white To sled or have a snowball fight While those who have to drive and such Have fingers crossed it won't be much. But be it blizzard or a dusting, Everybody, I am trusting, Will be glued to the TV To find out which one it will be.

I really like the first half of this Ilene. ...but I thought the last half got weak. It paints a great story though. I enjoyed it much.

Thankfully I only have to watch your trials on tv. Looks like a mess. Would be a good time for you to take one of your trips. :)

Looks more like a blizzard to me.. When I went to Israel there was a blizzard there! Snow is very pretty but driving in it or shoveling is no fun. I stocked up on food ,too. I went to Rommemu synagogue tonight. Good job! Peace & Love Matthew A
