A Summer Snowstorm Cold

As I was sitting in my rowboat...at a pond at Martha's Vineyard 
I was fishing with my headphones on...listening to Lynyrd Skynyrd
Suddenly, a chilling wind...my god, I almost froze 
While fishing with some sun-block on...a snowflake hit my nose 
With "Freebird" blasting in my head...I paddled to the shore 
I beached my boat, got dressed for winter...and fished a little more
As I rowed my boat to my fishing spot...the wind and snowflakes ease 
The sun came out and warmed me up...fishing was a breeze 
The temperature had dropped that day...as the summer was getting old 
But heck, the only thing I caught that day...was a summer snowstorm cold
