OH APRIL SNOW SHOWERS

This morning looked bleak
Two inches of snow and
A beautiful wind storm
It looked like a blizzard
There were white outs
Traffic at a standstill
Don’t worry
We are used to this
Six months in a row of snow
Icy roads because they
Don’t plow on the weekends
Unless there is over four inches
Then during the week the
Snow plows scrape down
The clear roads pushing
Dirt, ice and snow to
The shoulder and beyond
You can see sparks and smoke
 
It is almost May
Maybe the worst is over
Ice in the lake is mostly gone
Fishing is from the docks
Not a lot of action though
Nature does not keep a schedule
We are under quarantine at the time
The Covid-19 has us tied down
Many think it is a China conspiracy
Churches are fined if anyone congregates
Non-essential businesses are closed and
On the way to bankruptcy
The snow takes your mind off of this
You stay at home and pray
Pray that others are safe
No selective surgeries can take place
Bureaucrats know how to take care of us
They know April blizzards among other things
