Winter Is Here
Winter has come! (The season for fun)
Sing with cheer to those near,
“Bring out the boots and tuques,
Parkas and scarfs, mitts and snowsuits,
And long underwear,
And other paraphernalia of gear.
Winter is here!”
Snowflakes appear, falling out of the sky,
Thicker by the minute, blotting out the light.
Slowly they fall, softly they allay,
Covering the ground in a white duvet.
Snow angels are made where children play,
And snow people smile with round about shapes.
Snowballs are flung at each other in glee
While pets bark and chase anything moving.
From atop the hill, children screams debut;
Amid flailing arms in air of frosty blue,
“Get out of the way, we’re coming through!”
As the hill’s bottom comes into view.

Just because you think you're special
got news for you my peeps all over the globe
us Canuckys have unique stuff too
even in the summer, we walk around in parkas
and mukluks wearing nose tuques
well, that's what the world envisions anyway
actually, we've become quite civilized
since the beginning of the twenty-first century
running water, electricity and even, AND EVEN
free sex in the suburbs!!!
but you must know who to approach
like women!!! THAT'S if you're a male of the species
otherwise... well surely you ladies know!
the ones with stuff down below like well... you know
okay I must calm down or my pooper will pop
phew close call, now I'm gonna be serious
sheep shrink in the rain...
see I'm not just another silly old geezer!!!

It was supposed to be
A simple snowshoe expedition
Nothing glamorous or too exciting
But the day started out magnificent
Gloriously sunny and mild
Ideal for newbies and amateurs
It felt like a girl guide outing
Average age was ten
The trail was awesome
Breathtaking on either side
Snow covered bushes as far as you could see
Glistening sprinkling of fairy dust
And here we were single file
A line up of coloured tuques and snowsuits
Getting acquainted with our snowshoes
Making our imprints with every step
What a surprise awaiting around the corner
A huge bonfire
Who would have guessed
Roasting wieners on a branch
Best lunch we ever had
A most magical marvelous memory
When all was done and said
Nothing left but light fluffy snowflakes
Caressing the last few remaining embers

frost colored leaves crumble beneath my feet
low november clouds above
chilliness in the air

Winter has arrived with a freaking cold blast
Could have been warned it's sure a jolt to our ass
Wearing shorts and a tank top
Woolies and tuques we now swap
The top models for style and eloquence I surpass
