Never Too Old For Snow!

Like a blustering old man the storm spews snow epitaphs of disregard for the minions of man. A light froth falls from the north dry and distant making sideburns, muttonchops on the bark of barren tree trunks. The windward side of the trees applying downward weight of snow tilting with dismay. Yet, the day calls to the young and through slamming back doors they run sleds, and saucers in their bundled arms ah... for my ole flexible flyer!

And AH, for my ole FLEXIBLE bones!! I was quite the snow bunny in my time, Deb, but those days are LONG gone. I think it's the sign of maturity now to complain of snow. I really like this one. Very descriptive with a cute mesage at the end, much like a sonnet does! LUv, Andrea
