An Invitation From the South
An Invitation From the South
By Elton Camp
Those who live with ice and snow
Have relatives from states below
While shoveling the sidewalk,
Their weather, these will mock
“Why live with winters so severe?
Have some sense, move down here.”
“Why let road salt eat up your car
By continuing living where you are?”
“Common sense you seriously lack.
Shoveling snow causes a heart attack.”
“Move where people all say, “Y’all”
Not where, on ice and snow, you fall.”
In summer, boil under sweltering sun
Or a tornado may put you on the run
“Of a snow blower you’ll have no need.
My good advice you’d be wise to heed.”
“Get away from your icebox state.
For it’s a move you’ll never hate.”
To live there, I’d surely despise
Having to hear said, “Youse guys”
