Go Away
No precipitation the weatherman said
but the snow is falling on my head.
Shoveling , clearing, its still here.
I wonder if the sky will ever be clear.
The snowplow comes by to clear the road
and in front of my car leaves a big, icy load.
Shovel some more, so I can get out
to drive on the ice, slip sliding about.
The nicely dug out spot I left in my wake
is an open invitation for another to take.
Home again, dig out a new spot
(since the other one now, someone else has got).
Winter, I hate you, please go away
and don't bother coming back on some future day.
I hate the cold and I hate the snow
and I really can't wait for this winter to go.
Global warming where are you now.
Melt this snow and take a bow.
A warmer climate would be welcome here
but this is just the start of winter I fear.
