Winter Worries ©Tony Fallon 113017
It’s just after Thanksgiving here in the cold Northeast
The family was here together it was a wonderful feast
Late November days are upon us nothing more will grow
All we have to look forward to is constant sleet and snow
Of course each winter night we’ll have ice and frost
No two other things account for so many workdays lost
You’ll have to invest in salt because I’m sure it’s feared
Someone might fall if you don’t keep the driveway cleared
The days are shorter they’ve already changed the clocks
And some of us are already wearing two pairs of socks
A wise investment for the winter is a pair of heavy boots
And for the skier's waterproof thermal winter suits
And just in case you should be isolated in a winter storm
Buy a few of the things in a bag that keep your fingers warm
But most important is a warm hat for your head
Because you lose the most body heat there, it is said.
I laugh at people who at the cold curse and swear
They should be like me get on the thermal underwear
A scarf for your neck and gloves to prevent chilblains
They keep the warm blood flowing through your veins
But the best advice you’ll hear straight from my mouth
Is next year in October pack up the car and start heading south
This is #30 for November Mission accomplished.
