Enough of This Frigid Weather

Enough of this frigid weather already
It's March for crying out loud
Time for the temps to start moderating methinks
It's not civil and shouldn't be allowed

When the hell is spring supposed to arrive
It's just around which corner, I ask
It's long overdue, it's stressing us guys out
Want to lie on a deck chair and bask

Us Canadian fellows are a hardy bunch
We sometimes don't wear a hat
When temperature dip to minus forty-five
We go out for a stroll, how bout that

Okay, maybe I'm exaggerating a wee bit
Minus twenty is a more like it, ahem
Still frigid enough to freeze the balls off a statue
Of Laurier, our seventh PM

We WILL survive, us guys always do
We're made of some pretty tough stuff
But give me a break, this is way too damn cold
Enough, is enough, is enough!

Carol Eastman Date: 3/6/2014 5:28:00 PM AH! Wishing tomorrow was here, just like Dragon! What about making the most of today. Someday when there's no time left, we'll be wishing we could go back! If it's cold and dreary, throw a party where you can stay home AND be the center of attention... OOPPS! Sorry! That's what I tell Dragon. YOU can have fun at home, while everyone else goes out in the cold to get to YOUR party! Or be like me, write about your Dragon! Now don't laugh! It's cheaper than a party and you can go to bed early! LOL Login to Reply Carol Eastman Date: 3/6/2014 6:10:00 PM No... I've lost something... but not control of my imagination... Having too much fun with it!... Tho I probably should stop and count my marbles every once in a while! Jack Ellison Date: 3/6/2014 5:39:00 PM Uhh! It's about your imagination, dar Carol... have you lost control of it! LOL XOXOX

Russell Sivey Date: 3/6/2014 6:55:00 AM That is for sure, enough IS enough with this cold weather! I am so looking forward to Spring, this long cold winter has hurt me enough! I'm not built as sturdy as you hardier Canadian types, I'm lots weaker! I am surely much happier knowing that it is warming up and that Spring is 14 days away! This is a tremendous write about this winter harshness! I really enjoyed reading that you, a Canadian, is tired of this winter as well! What a Fabulous poem this morning, Great Work!!
