Global Colding
Thought today was going to be pretty good
But it's cold and snow again
What a nasty winter we're having this year
As bad as I can't remember when
It takes all my strength and intestinal fortitude
Not to crack under these conditions
I'm not at all pleased but I say to myself
Not long before spring's transition
This year seems to be particularly difficult
Used to say, “hey, I'm a Canadian!”
I'm a hardy old soul, been through this before
But this year hurts my cranium
Is this what we now call “Global Colding”
“Global Warming” was yesterday's news
Better start building those igloos real soon
You'll need mukluks instead of shoes
The prognosticator's predictions were off the mark
Though they'll probably have an excuse
Like the “thingamabob” on their “dohickey” thingy
Gave a wrong prognosis they deduce
