Premium Member Blizzard

The blizzard was at its peak;
Snow drifts all covered the street;
Our blazing fireplace provided the heat,
When my full term wife’s water decided to leak.

Our first baby’s time to arrive had come;
Outside visibility was close to none;
About birthing babies I had no clue;
We weren’t sure what we should do.

No one answered our 9-1-1 phone calls;
The Lamaze breathing we tried to recall,
As outside the snow continued to fall ;
This miraculous event was being no fun at all.

I pounded on my neighbor’s door,
Then we ran and got five neighbors more;
One had a snow mobile we drove down the street,
To the highway with hopes a plow driver we'd meet.

We waved down a city snow plow,
Who made it up our street some how;
In his cab my wife and I rode,
As I coached her how to pant and blow.

She was crowning as we finally arrived;
The doctors rushed her quickly inside;
I thanked the driver of that truck called Snow Wizard,
And that’s how my daughter acquired the name Blizzard.

Premium Member Die Hard Joggers

The jogging group just ran by
Donned in hat, scarf and glove.
Patches of snow still on the ground lie
Sent from the skies above
But it doesn't diminish the jogger's love.

They're laughing and chatting on the way
Enjoying fresh air and clear skies.
It isn't supposed to snow today
So today's run is their prize.
Let's hope the weatherman's wise.

They give me hope that spring is near
Though they're bundled up warm and snug.
At least thirty joggers have passed by here
While I watch from inside with my coffee mug
As warm as a bug in a rug.

I should feel guilty I suppose
That I'm not out there jogging too
But this cold air affects my nose
And makes my lips turn blue
So I'll just wait for the snow to shoo!
