As It Snowed a Collaboration

AS IT SNOWED (poem ending with the fine print in a liquor ad) As it snowed, I heard thunder *the gods bowling snowballs to keep themselves warm. Then the avalanche came. *like lovers who run both hot and cold. The gods buried themselves until their Russian wolfhounds arrived. *I remember feeling good that gods had wolfhounds, Russian or otherwise. The wolfhounds fell in love with the snow. *it surrounded them and hounded them, coolly. It made a wolfhound cocktail topped with a cherry, *which Smirnoff copyrighted for the common man.
