Fighting Blizzards

few headlights light the road
worried drivers headed to their abode
progress more and more being slowed
in hope of not having to be towed

not all that far to go
perhaps two miles or so
as dark sky drops snow
big flakes falling slow

snow above the ankles so cold
should have done as I was told
instead of trudging forward seeking foothold
refusing to admit what weather controlled

some promises should not be kept
some vows yield results we do not expect
without clothes warm enough having been wrapped
for the blizzard into which you have stepped

I have made this error. Now I carry warm clothes and boots in my trunk and also a shovel.
