Snow in the South

Jack Frost got me hustling To clear my car of excess snow Bare brown branches bustling As frigid blue breeze blows The forecast was right or wrong As I sit in the car heating it up On the radio red Christmas songs Sing along makes freezing fun enough I watch a parent play with child Shaking tree to sprinkle white flurries Warm eyes that twinkle as they smile Despite chill no one really hurries When it snows in the south People take notice in awe gaze Kids squeal with joy so loud As they gather it in hands amazed Purple panic shoppers raspberry react Buying bread milk eggs in excess We giggle at their inability to relax And see snow days as God blessed Despite the nights spent so cold Someone who lacks winter heat May be a poor homeless soul Or you due to a car wreck on street Snow in the south is a white dream Everything seems to take it easy Coffee tea and cocoa hot we drink With warm hearts despite freezing
