Winter makes its entry
Refusing to be shy
Snow, then rain, freezing, and sleet
Today it is snow, wintry
Mix they call it on tv
In my native South we slow down
In the hotter than hot days
Of August and July
We call ‘em dog days
Too hot to hardly breathe
But here in the North
We slow down in winter
Too cold to hardly breathe
Roads wet or dry snowy or icy
What’s open, who’s workin’
Funny what you try to get used to
How you try to adjust, get by
When the weather just kicks your ass.
