New England Winters

You can boast of California, And Hilton Head as well, California’s gotten rotten Florida’s hot as Hell. So let me struggle with the snow, And bundle ‘gainst the cold I’ll live up here in Yankee land Until I’m too damned old. Shoveling’s not much fun, but Winter’s cold and snappy. Watch sledding kids upon a hill. Defines the meaning: ’happy’. Then later, when I’m feeble And stumble as I go I’ll think about resigning But my spirit tells me No! One thing our winters surely do, Without a lot of noise, It helps the world to separate The real men from the boys.
