I Hate Winter!
The snow, it is falling
I’ve got a bad head cold
The water pipes are frozen
My goosebumps are bold
The car battery is dead
The dumb thing won’t start
The driveway needs shoveling
Not good for my heart
The streets are ice covered
I’ve got places to go
The temperature outside?
It’s a balmy twenty below
Sidewalks are treacherous
For this wary old man
Going out concerns me
And I do the best I can
The medicine cabinet is full
Cough syrup, antihistamines
The only one that is well
The druggist’s finances, it seems
The doctor’s offices are full
They are a haven for disease
I’ll only go if I’m dying
In my hanky, I will sneeze
The house is very drafty
By the fireplace, I will stay
Shivering, all I wish for
Is a warm summer day
My sheets must be flannel
My covers, at least three
Burrowed deep inside them
Is where you will find me
Because winter lingers
It always has its way
Makes sure that I’m miserable
As its might it displays
The sun comes up mid-morning
Goes down late afternoon
All I can possibly wish for is
Spring! Please come soon!
