The Snow Bird

The Snow Bird NIX AVIS They call me a Snow Bird But that metaphor is absurd Letting you know I hate the Snow. Year round summer only way to go. Best living in good weather Withoutt wearing sweaters. I move South out of winter's reach And head to our condo in Clearwater Beach. Condo living is the place for me With water view and close to the sea. No grass to cut, no dirt to shovel Not involved in that kind of trouble. Car, train, or plane will get you there But a few things I'd like to share. Make a list before you arrive: Early Bird Special closes at five. Vodka Gimlet and Whiskey Sours Are cheap drinks during Happy Hours. Don't forget your Handicap sticker Will find parking spots much quicker. Do head North in middle of May Before love bugs and no-seeums come into play. Something I almost forgot Leave Florida before it gets hot. So isn't life grand With surf, sun, and warm beach sand?
