The Snow Bird
The Snow Bird
NIX AVIS
They call me a Snow Bird
But that metaphor is absurd
Letting you know I hate the Snow.
Year round summer only way to go.
Best living in good weather
Withoutt wearing sweaters.
I move South out of winter's reach
And head to our condo in Clearwater Beach.
Condo living is the place for me
With water view and close to the sea.
No grass to cut, no dirt to shovel
Not involved in that kind of trouble.
Car, train, or plane will get you there
But a few things I'd like to share.
Make a list before you arrive:
Early Bird Special closes at five.
Vodka Gimlet and Whiskey Sours
Are cheap drinks during Happy Hours.
Don't forget your Handicap sticker
Will find parking spots much quicker.
Do head North in middle of May
Before love bugs and no-seeums come into play.
Something I almost forgot
Leave Florida before it gets hot.
So isn't life grand
With surf, sun, and warm beach sand?
