Colder Than the Surface of Mars

Colder Than the Surface of Mars

By Elton Camp

Of global warming I’ve no doubt
Right now that isn’t helping us out

Freezing arctic air is flowing down
Subzero temperatures widely found

Encased in ice and snow are the cars
It's colder than temperatures on Mars

Such conditions are hard to abide
It’s fall, get up, then slip and slide

There’s a chance pipes will freeze
Limbs may crash from the trees

On the roads snow still remains
Jack Frost coats the window panes

How much more of this can we take
All we can do is shiver and shake

I'm glad to live in Alabama instead of one of the New England states! But we are to get single digits even here for a couple of days.
