Temperature's down,

Barometer falling also:

Winter's depressing.

Seize the day -

Whoa - ice on the steps! Stars

Bat softly at my skull.

Slush underfoot,

Snow dropping from branches -

Wipe your nose.

Snowflakes are dancing.

Men stamp their feet and swear:

Hot words, cold bodies.

Silent: yesterday's snow -

Softly falling: today's snow -

I may scream: tomorrow's snow

Stupid groundhog:

Spring comes in six weeks.

It will probably snow

Ash Wednesday?

We're cold, we're sick with the flu -

We should starve also?

Shovel snow shovel

Snow more snow shovel shovel more

Snow shovel - enough!
