Bravo

I look out on the morning My squirrels do scamper round And yes, there is what I was dreading More snow is coming down. Normally I wouldn't mind But this year, it's not fine Because back surgery has me dreading The covering on the ground. I manage fine with my walker Until I leave the house Then I am on my own And you should see me dance Never was anyone more graceful At piroits and high leaps I'll tell you here and now The pro skaters envey me. All the hours, days and years they spend Just to reach this goal I preform perfectly When I step outside my door. All the attention I receive Has them turning green The speaker softly clears his throat And announces "You've received a new spleen."
