At least the sun’s out,
Wasn’t yesterday.
School closings and more,
Not weather for play.
To cold and windy,
For big and little tots.
Snowfall resembled,
Those Dippin’ Dots.
The snow on top,
Of the black ice,
Even four-wheel drive,
Wouldn’t suffice.
But, this morning’s sky,
So clear and blue.
As I look out of,
My frosty window.
Wind chill factor,
Exactly zero.
11 miles per hour,
East wind blows.
Hope that the sun,
Will melt the streets,
Much safer for,
My car’s four feet.
Salt and sand,
Spread by the plows.
Not good for paint,
On my car, at all.
Snow in the winter,
Curtail summer drought.
Try to think of that,
As I shovel out.
For now the bright side,
To dwell in my mind.
For the sun’s out today,
Spring’s not far behind.
