Up Here

I live up here in Minnesota where season's have four names. But sometimes just one is the reason to our claim to fame. Right now the snow birds aren't our best friends. And the snow is up to our rear ends. I'll tell you true, this ain't no game. :) Well in a month they'll all be back to show off their sun tans. And on they'll go with with their rich show and hoity toity plans. If I sound bitter, what can I say. It's been a harsh winter, last year until May. But I digress, at least I guess. My heart's not quite that froze. Although when I shoveled the roof. Quite numb became my toes. Rjr440 For the impress me with a small poem. Kinda failed. :) With the short part that is.

We see them here on Puget Sound. Silver-haired folks, in fashionable clothes--driving their little sports cars with the tops down. How odd they don't realize how they stand out and may not be getting the sort of attention they crave. I'm sure they're nice...just lost.
