Another cold day © Tony Fallon 011318
Yesterday the rain came pouring down
And melted all the snow in our town
If we thought it was spring we have to think twice
Today all the streets are covered in ice
On radio and TV there are constant reports
About how they cancelled all outdoor sports.
Some announcers often give rather wild predictions
About the Governor implementing travel restrictions
From the rain and melting some drains overflowed
And last night for a while again it snowed
Then the thermometer fell as fast as a rock
The sidewalks are treacherous if you try to walk
The temperature is fast approaching frigid
The ice on my windshield is thick and rigid
The doors wouldn’t open there was icy seals
The car wouldn’t move with ice under the wheels
Vehicular traffic has practically come to a halt
There are big trucks plowing and spreading salt
Yesterday I should have shopped but I waited
And now today I’m at home hungry and isolated.
