You don’t need a weather man
to know, just how cold
Just some fingers, toes,
and a red rosy nose
How much snow has fallen
and drifted about,
a shovel will help you determine that,
while you are out
The cables you carry
in the trunk of your car
maybe it’s one of those days,
not to venture to far
We’ve been here and done it,
many times before,
and as Minnesotans,
it becomes part of our lore
So let’s settle in
Perhaps a hot cocoa to grasp
Grab a good book
and turn up the thermostat
As it is our ilk
To opine, and complain
It’ll be just another day
Stay warm in its refrain
A happy minus reading to all 😰😊
