The snow is still coming down extremely hard
Snowmen are springing up almost in everyone's yard
Schools have decided to close giving the kids a snow day
My driveway will have to wait,the family insists it is time to play
The snowballs are being prepared for the fight that is about to ensue
The adults versus children, our strategy is rapid-fire , they won't know what to do
That tactic was a complete failure as arms tired so very fast
As to who eventually won the fight, do you have to ask
Next up toboggan races on a big hill out back
Once again disaster strikes we have lost so many races, I have lost track
Our day of family fun has finally come to an end
Oh I almost forgot that driveway I have to shovel still awaits, my aching body I can't pretend
while in the Artic
I tried another tactic
now am lethargic
whirring warning whooshing
gaunt gores filling
damped darkness dug
pulpy pair's lust
tactic twain tumbling
over hideous heels
airy atmosphere puking
voluptuous vile vying
per punctured pelvic
skeptical soles shuddering
la-de-da limbs lustrating
felon nature's priest
war met will
one other killed.

Tried Tactic After Tactic
Every morning my appetite was automatic;
While being both appealing and charismatic;
Moist or fried;
Baked or fried,
And to prepare food tried tactic after tactic.
Jim Horn
Heavy taxation is not thriftiness,
exempting themselves from indebtedness!
Oh, Congress is comical...
making us hysterical
through economic hardships!
smile, nod with a wink,
hide what to see, what to think,
squids squirt jet black ink !
