Till Winter Finally Takes Flight
Winter didn't arrive till February 1st
It came on with a vengeance since then
Something's screwed up I do believe
Such extremes, really can't recall when
I know, I know, I live up in Canada
The land of ice and much snow
But give us a break, enough is enough
Can't take this bad stuff no mo'
Hardy yes but certainly not foolhardy
Been living here for 79 years
Don't go out unless it's absolutely necessary
In my La-Z-Boy I park my rear
So don't ring my bell or dial my number
Haven't you heard of hibernation
I'm incognito, I can no longer be reached
Bugging me is a privacy violation
A true violation of my rights as a human
An intrusion I'd very much dislike
Unreachable by any possible means at all
Till damn winter finally takes flight!
