Underperforming

Yikes it's minus 15 degrees this morning
Are we being punished, is this a dire warning
For our warlike obsession
Our constant aggression
Methinks our species is misunderstanding

You know what it's like over here//So I won't say or I fear//I'd hear you cuss//and make a fuss//maybe even shed a tear. PUT ON YOUR STEAM HEATED CAMISOLE BEFORE YOU FREEZE YOUR IMPORTANT PARTS JACKSON!!!
