Happy Winter!


It's winter here in Illinois
And the gentle breezes blow
Seventy miles an hour
At thirty-five below.

Oh, how I love Illinois
When the snow's up to your butt
You take a breath of winter
And your nose gets frozen shut.

Yes, the weather here is wonderful
So I guess I'll hang around
I could never leave Illinois
I'm frozen to the friggin' ground!

  11. With all these warm wishes, how can I help but be toasty! And things are looking up! It's supposed to get up to 36° by Wed! Well, for a little while, anyway.

    And just for the record, I haven't been inspired enough to write poetry...so this one isn't mine, but there was no credit given so I have no idea who wrote it. It's one someone sent me in email. I'm afraid the only thing frigid cold inspires me to do is snuggle in and not want to do anything!
