Please Take Pity
Can anyone fathom a temperature of -40F
That's what we're experiencing today
Must qualify that, it's with the wind chill factored in
It's a balmy -15F, in this winter ballet
What am I doing here, have I lost all my marbles
Insane is a good word to choose
Shouldn't go outside because of the dying factor
Going to stay inside, hit the booze
No, never touch the stuff just like my Daddy
Maybe downed 5 beers in total
Will write more sillies which y'all seems to like
In this age where everything's global
Okay I'm making a request of all you guys
If you live in the sunny south
Can you put me up for two or three months
Maybe in the basement of your house
I'd pay you in kindness, I'd help with the chores
Make your meals and cut your grass
Won't someone take pity on this sad old duffer
To save me from old winter's blast
