Falling On Me Bum

There must be something besides love Another good topic for a poem Perhaps I'll write about nature and stuff And the chilly winds a-blowin' November in Canada has that nip in the air That foretells of the season ahead For those that are into those winter sports Bet you're can't get it out of your head Well maybe when I was a very young'un Snow time meant barrels of fun But this guy's quite old and crotchety now Snow means falling on me bum Can't wait for spring just six months to go The months can't go by fast enough Perhaps I'll hibernate just like the bears Then wake up and brush of the dust Don't get me wrong, I'm Canadian eh! It's the law, I'm required to like winter They could lock me up, throw away the key It's also against the law to whimper (sniff!)

I liked the witty ending. Texans are required to like summer; it's a given. If one doesn't they may just lock me up. Well said and humorous...don't fall on your bum! :-) smiles, Sara
