In Defiance of the Changing Norms
I can't wait for the leaves to go
release their grip and slowly blow
I hope the wind blows really hard
so the leaves land in my neighbor's yard
I am prepared for the coming storms
in defiance of the changing norms
I'll build a SNOW MAN, make SNOW BALLS
fill his pipe each time he calls
For he's allowed to smoke the "weed"
legal now, it feeds his need
his eyes as deep and dark as COAL
in his pocket a tin of SKOAL
He'll stand there handsome, tall and proud
distanced from the milling masses
holding up a sign that reads
BEWARE, FOR EVERY SEASON PASSES
