Snowstorm

Always a memorable event, In ways quite annoying, In others quite enticing One where memories linger on For years past the thawing Entombed inside your house, With those you love so well An adventure in close sharing, An adventure long to tell I remember one blizzard, Quite a few years ago, My Rosie and children over To sit out the deep falling snow When it was brought to my attention, That some female sanitary products they did need, Looks like tom gets to be the knight, Although he had no mighty steed Now bear in mind this was Not at all a good neighborhood, And tom was the wrong color, Out from others he surely stood But sometimes tom is clever And this was one of those days, He'd secure the needed items, He had his thoughtful ways You see the toughest blacks outside Those most likely to brave the storm, Would hesitate to approach Someone so totally not the norm So I dressed up in insane regalia So bizzare and tough, you see Anyone out on the prowl Would think twice before bothering me Leather, denin cut off vest, Hell's Angels toughest stlyes, Sunglasses, and Nazi helmet A bayonet dangling from my side, I looked to be a lunatic, And I made sure it showed in my eyes! Well it took a long time, But the deed was accomplished, you can believe me, But I'll never forget how I looked, and that was surely the key For sure a madman trodding, In knee deep snow like some hairy old Yeti And let's hope that that's the last time like that, That I will ever see!
