I'm having an ice holiday
The white stuff we ordered unseen,
So someone changed up our order
Now I think that was kinda' mean!

They said, "Have a Nice Christmas!"
Well, someone didn't quite understand,
So we are having an ice holiday
And it's just about all we can stand!

There's ice on all the roadways
And ice out in the yard,
I'm having an ice Christmas Holidaze
And here that's not really too hard!

I'm iced in here at the in-laws
Not telling how long I must stay,
And were really having an ice time--
So cool, like it is always!

So go the winter holidays
As I've known once or twice,
They may not be all we expected--
But folks, it's sure been ice!!!

Happy Holidays!

I'm trying to hide a smile down here in sunny Florida..have been in your predicament and was not as amused as you seem to be...lol..good luck.

the woods are lovely, dark, and deep, but I have promises to keep, and many miles to go before I sleep...Frost

         What a delightful take on an ice storm! Hope I will remember it the next time we're iced in.   Thanks for the smile, David.

Do I detect a bit of sarcasm with this piece?  ROFL--and stuck at the in-laws to boot!  Yipe!  Hope you survive your Happy Holidays!

dear David; Leave it to you to turn this ice mess into an ice pun! Your sense of humor always gets me grinning. Love, sis

Belief is a truth held in the mind; faith is a fire in the heart.

Ice storms are the worst. I feel for you all who are having to deal with this. If I had my druthers, I'd rather have snow, but only if I had to choose. Summer is looking awfully attractive right now! Clever poem, David!
