Snow Plows, Snow and Highways

Winter has come and snowflakes fly In winds beyond normality Creating drifts above one’s head, Exercising muscles To get our driveways cleared of snow, The walkway and our doorways too Around the house, the shed and all After the storm has passed. But, now our government has gone And lessened hours snowplows can Be out upon our highways and Be plowing snow from them. They say they can save money by Reducing plowing from snowfalls, Less gas and labor, maintenance, But, what about a life? And what about emergencies That do occur from time to time, A pregnancy in ambulance On highways stuck in snow Or accident that has to be Fast treated in a hospital A hundred miles away, and by, Our doctors’ skillful hands? What have our MHAs become When human life is put below Gas bills, labor, Machinery, Saving a buck or two? You say, “Not so”. I hear you scream To save your face in front of all. So, prove it then. Put snow plows back. Keep highways cleared of snow. If you will not rescind your plans And keep our highways clear, Remember that elections come And voters don’t forget! W.C.Hull © 2017-24-1-958-E
