The Joy of Living In the North

The Joy of Living in the North By Elton Camp No greater joy can some people know Than living in the land of ice and snow They haven’t the slightest fear Of a far-below-zero temperature Snow will fall both day and night To them, that’s the greatest delight Even when forecasters say, “Five more feet of snow today” Why need they mind any more With the snowplows galore! Though the snow is all around Not one time have they frowned To me, there is no worse fate Than living in a northern state With snow piled to the window ledge Only a rounded hump for the hedge Give me whirling tornadoes any day It’s in Alabama that I prefer to stay
