I think I snow what's wrong with me ,
I'm right up to my chin .
Snow down there buddy , can't you see
the drift that I am in ?

Snow White a beauty may have been ,
among that smaller crowd ,
but deep she wasn't meant to be ,
I'm dwarfed for cryin' out loud !

Snow it may take a little thought
to see just where this leads ,
were I to get a paper cut
'tis snow-flakes I would bleed !

An avalanche of images
is on the evenin' news ,
from Snobile , Alabama
down to snow-bound Baton Rouge !

Snow now you may begin to see
why I'm one frosted flake ,
the white-out I'm referring to
does not correct mistakes !

And snow the sun may shine again
upon my upturned face ,
I wish this pen were big enough
for all this to erase !

P.S. When odds are long it's said down here
his kind will not do well ,
but under all this ice and snow
it's really hard to tell !

Ok I think I have it figured out. You need to take a few days off and go somewhere that does not have any snow or cold weather.
I hope you thaw out real soon!!!!!
