Arctic Antics

A crunch of snow Alerts the prey To freeze… Or flee A cat Shakes it paws Thinking “shoulda used the litter box” A dog Rolls happily Wrestling Its inner puppy The metallic sound Of shovels Mutes The mumbled curses Sparrows wait For sunrise warmth And the boring Breakfast special

Still crunching snow here. How bizarre to get 12 inches and the city can't handle it. New Orleans isn't Boston!

lol John. Mardi Gras is actually several weeks of parades and debaucheries that culminate on Mardi Gras Day. It's not always 'handled' but the show goes on.
