Chilly Balls & Cold Feet... No Thanks..

Well the snow has come

and the early dark nights

don't make it easy to drive

on black ice.

Let alone even

during daylight either.

You're like a ballet dancer skating

on thin ice. As you tiptoe on

four wheels up the road slowly

does it.

Or else you skid the car

and f**k you and it up.

And God helps you if

you're elderly

or infirm.

Needing some shopping.

And have no transport

to get you to your destination.

So you rely on public transport

or even a taxi.

And getting from your front door

to the bus stop or to the end of the garden

for the taxi.

Without falling on your butt

you're doing a great job.

Let alone without

breaking any bones at that.

Maybe I am being cynical

as well as a drama queen.

But the cold weather,

snow and ice. Is not much fun.

When you're trying to drive to work,

In the rush hour.

And someone has had an accident

or broken down.

And the lanes are backing up.

And you have nowhere to go.

Stuck in traffic. And late for work.

And everyone is pissed off and annoyed.

Or else you try to get a taxi.

And all are pre-booked and

none left for poor old you.

To get you to your work

on time. And if you trot late.

into work, your boss has

a moan, as your

way late.

No sympathy or I understand

you had to come

in through a snowstorm.

Bah humbug.

I hate the snow and the cold

and ice. I am too old and moany

now, to appreciate the beauty in

it any more. And the fun of

building snowmen and throwing

snowballs. LOL
