Gary Watkins Poet Rhyme

Winter Blues

Winter Blues

A cold chill filled the air.
A frost lay on the grass.
I didn't see the ice
and fell upon my ass.

I stood up very slowly,
with many huffs and groans,
my whole attention focused
on the aching in my bones.

Some think the season's lovely,
with snowball fights and such,
until it's time to shovel,
then they don't like it much!

Next year will be much different,
at least from where I stand.
I'm moving to Miami,
and working on my tan!

The nice thing about Colorado is that you can enjoy the snow one day and have the sunshine back the next, so it seldom gets me down.

Lin Lane November 10, 2015 at 1:41 PM Very funny, Gary. Glad I moved back South. Nice winter poem. Gary Watkins November 10, 2015 at 6:27 PM Thank you, Lin. It was a slow night at work and I was amusing myself. Now that we're expecting 5" of snow in the next day, it doesn't seem quite so funny to me.
