Next Bus To New Mexico

up to my ankles in icy snow
the dogs wresting the shovel
and running away
the hood of my coat is slipping down over my eyes
my gloves are too big
I feel like a cranky cold five year old
who doesn't know enough to go in

snow after snow I'm sick of this
when's the next bus to New Mexico?

LOL - Some parts of the US are having record snowfalls this year, Veronica. You must be tired of shoveling out. We even had a bit of snow in Florida, but no need to pick up a shovel. The midday sun here is merciful. Enjoyed your humor! Love, Carolyn
