Poem Title:
Poem
The winters here in northern Alabama are pretty mild unlike the ones up on Long Island when I was a child were "lucky" to see a couple of inches here each winter and if we don't we try not to become too bitter, When the forecast does call for the rare "S" word the folks panic and run to the stores to be early birds afraid they'd miss out on all the milk and bread they fill their carts as if they were all doomsday prepped, And to add to the excitement we usually make some snowmen ultra fast because we don't know how long they'll last it could 32 degrees one day and 60 the next which means our snowmen turn into one lopsided mess, Since I live in a small town theres only so much to do with the town square having window shopping if you choose all kinds of windows that you can imagine even ones from the 1970s that have gone out of fashion, They have Christmas carolers and a parade for the holiday which makes almost everyone who lives here day even though they'll be no snow folks are still pretty thrilled to see all their kin parade around in shorts and hardly catch a chill, If folks want to go ice skating they have to go to Huntsville but since I'm not into that I don't think I ought to go somewhere where I might slip and break my neck but since theres nothing else to do oh what the heck! 11-26-17
