I shoveled my walk, as I'm supposed to do. My property ran "oh a block or two". I huffed and puffed and shoveled it clean. If you've ever shoveled you know what I mean. I put up my tool and went in to get warm. And gazed out my window to watch the snow storm. With perseverance even the snail reached the Ark. |

Rofl...I can only think of one thing you forgot I shovel my drive way Till my way out is clean Then along comes the snowplow That gosh darn machine He's plowed me back in After all my hard work Boy do I hate him That lousey jerk (oops...sorry, this comes from 16 years of living off a major road during 3 foot snow storms and I'd just get done shoveling my way out and that snowplow would come along and plow me right back in...as you can guess, I had to edit my language a bit for the forum...lol) At the touch of love, everyone becomes a poet. ~Plato |

When you've lived in the snow there are rules, never lick a metal pole and don't eat the yellow snow. |

Poor lil Lucie's gone over the edge, She's shoveling snow where its not. She lives way down in Houston town, Where its nothing else but hot. She's in her driveway with shovel in hand, Waving to the cars as they pass. They honk and shout, "Its not cold out!" But our Lucie isn't buying that. For didn't one of her girlfriends, Complain of the hard driving snow? So Lucie supported the gal who was thwarted, By the snowdrifts outside her window. Poor lil Lucie's gone over the edge, She's shoveling snow where its not. Wishing and hoping that she was coping, With weather that wasn't so hot. This poem was for you, lil Lucie. I don't doubt for a moment that you are shoveling snow - lol |
