Winters Blaahs
Cloudy, dark sky, bare trees, missing their leaves, blowing in the winters cold brisk wind,
White, dirty snow all around, ice covered sidewalks, no squirrels, no spring time birds, they are all hibernating, deep within their burrows, waiting for some flicker of sunlight, to appear from the bare cold sky above, no such luck.
Boots gloves, scarves, snow pants, are the necessity to keep warm,
Hiding underneath, is two layers of clothes, one must be prepared,
Minnesotans, we dare not complain, were used to this season, everyone says we are crazy, but we know deep down, that a foot of snow, won't stop us, life goes on, we are aware that after winter comes spring, then summer, break out the flip flops, shorts, sunscreen, bottles of water, its a heat wave, we'll be sweating bullets, cranking up the a/c, wishing to be cool again, so just deal, be careful what u wish for, the winter blaahs are just temporary, we are Minnesotans, we are hearty, warm, caring people, but I MUST warn you, don't get onto the roads with us...we will run you down!!!
