BLACK MONDAY

Winter made a bold announcement

Leaving one-half inch of snow

Does he think this is funny or is

He doing it just for show

We have a month before he is official.

About thirty days will drag

I feel sick like a silly old witch

When someone called her a hag

This snow will melt; we will see

Green grass. Slip and slide and fall

It is a wonder that the hospital

Won’t have more of its people on call

Winter is not my favorite season

People daydream while they drive

Then hit ice and begin to slide

Many times only to collide

What started as a peaceful day

With on load of problems to carry

Just turned into a disaster

A Christmas without the Merry

It is here so my advice is to face it

Be careful as you drive and slow down

Others may not like it at all, but

It is better than a hospital gown.
