Winters Reflections

by Carolyn 'Deaton' Stephens

Brrrrrrrrrrr, I've really outdone myself
this time
Can't believe I went so
overboard
I decided to snow for a couple of hours
then napped
Forgot to set my timer to
automatically turn me off
So here we are six hours into
this storm
And I was not even predicted
messed up weather man again
When I get below zero I
am forgetful
I have been around since time began
And there are times I get tired too
You know
It's not like I don't have a lot
to do
Reminding the wind to blow
my drifts
Reminding the sun to give me
a break
I love being Winter, however
Spring and I
Have discussed changing places
for a while
I like that idea, but we haven't
figured out
How I could begin the transition
without a double shift

Maybe I could talk to my Union boss
Oh Godddddddddd
can I have an appointment soon
Wait, wait, the moon has just
turned my new snow into diamonds
Forget it God, I will stay
just who I am...
after all, you made me
Winter
