Canadian Winter Brrr

Winter's here, I'll be cold for months Each year it's the same old thing The cold never used to bother me much Can't wait till that first day of Spring Guess it's age that's made the difference Our law says I must love the snow Canadian, that's why, but I've had too many Want the weather gods to know Oh yes it was great when I was a toddler Those days are long gone I'm afraid Curl up under a blanket in November Till the robins once again invade Might even lose my Canadian citizenship If no one alerts them I'll be safe So please dear friends, keep it to yourself Or I'll writing from a prison base © Jack Ellison 2013

I'll never tell Santa Baby! Missed you but while under the weather, I got to read every poem you've written on the soup. Didn't comment on all... Just laughed and cried and got lost in your rhymes. Now here I am, simply overwhelmed that I own your love so dear. My life is so much richer because were friends and the heart we share. Be blessed today Hun. Hugs X infinity

Your secret is safe with me my friend! I really enjoyed reading this enlightening poem this evening! I think it's funny how much you hate winter, it tickles me my friend! Do you like autumn? that's my favorite time of the year, winter though doesn't bother me too much...I stay in a lot during the winter, ha ha! What a creative piece, Great Work!!

Any season but winter! Winter in Canada is so long and unbearably cold! And I've had way too many of them in my 76 years!!! Loved them when I was a kid but that was looooooong ago! Have a happy Tuesday, my friend!

The neighbor witch is enjoying Dragon's Nativity Scene... He never fails to make her laugh! She's a nice witch so not so scary. She said she'd get a hold of the weather Gods, if you want... And it won't cost you anything! Apparently, she has the Christmas Spirit of giving... Watching Dragon's Christmas antics has got to even her! Amazing! We all wish you and Cathie, and the people at Poetry Soup a Merry Christmas! PS. Now that Dragon's big toe is better... He's wearing bedazzled booties! LOL
