Woe Is Winter

Woe Is Winter

Woe again to my new winter
Out each window am a squinter
Looking at all the sheets of white
Blaring cold taking another bite.

If in desert living on dirty ranch
Would not experience avalanche
But if high on a mountainside
May be taken for quite a ride.

Skiing swiftly down a high hill
May be traumatic and a thrill
And while talking to some nerds
Asked me if I skied backwards.

Enjoy Christmas while you can
And are boiling items in a pan
Of pastries must be a good judge
May make peanut brittle or maybe fudge.

(Unless you are carrying a grudge.)

AD, You were kind saying cute and I love cake made with fruit. This must be a man thing, if it will improve way we sing. Have you ever heard MTC in person before? JH
