DID…HE..LIKE THE WAR BONNET?

DID…HE…LIKE THE WAR BONNET?

–

Should find out if,

The boss will accept my gift…

Or if he’ll say

Throw it away,

Out into a convenient snow drift?

CAUGHT HER DRIFT!

CAUGHT HER DRIFT!

“It’s so BEAUTIFUL…” she yelled,

On a break from scraping window ice…

Her car buried in a snow drift

But thought the crystal trees looked nice.

–

She or somebody wished out loud’

I really wasn’t that near…

That she had a camera

To take a picture “out here.”

–

She tried to kneel on the hood

To reach the other side of the car…

Her leg kept slipping off,

From that angle she couldn’t reach far.

–

We neighbors helped her dig

Out her vehicle from…

The drift it nosed into,

Our artistically minded chum!

FURTHER ADVENTURES OF…

FURTHER ADVENTURES OF…

Black-ice Bobby then

Went out for a drive in the glen…

Clobbered a drift,

Went over the cliff

And was never heard from again!

GRAVEYARD SHIFT

GRAVEYARD SHIFT

 

I remember doing third shift,

Seeing daylight at the end was a lift…

On the weary ride home

I felt so alone

But going home then was a gift.

–

Seeing the first signs of life

After the previous night…

Or the frozen haze

On wintry days,

If the car avoided snow drifts!

–

I got used to working all night,

But the Missus had her own fight to fight…

Had to switch to days

As her sickness displayed

Itself for months of bad nights.

–

My employers were not very happy

With this shift-switching chappy…

My late sacrifice

Brought love to her eyes,

Her recovery took a long time there, Cappy!

MORE WINTER FUN

MORE WINTER FUN! 🙂

From warm inside to wintery freeze
Similar to a Nordic sauna…
Transitioning in this weather will
Refresh both flora and fauna!
–
Tobogganing headfirst down a hill
Can be such a surprise…
When breaking through a further snowdrift,
Sprayed with powdered snow in the eyes.
–
I’m glad, at the time, that the snow drift was free
Of barbed wire, poles and such…
If they were hidden inside that drift,
I wouldn’t have enjoyed it much.
–
An Adirondack college winter camp sauna
We used on alternate nights…
The co-ed course for which we paid
Didn’t guarantee mixed gender rights!
