This winter, please, dear Lord
Send us a real good storm
One where we’re all snowed in
. . .
We who get so uptight
Need a good snowball fight
And should be forced to ski
To rent a DVD
So heap it up to the window sill
Make the mad world stand still
Bury us Lord
Under a real good storm
-- Peter Mayer (the Minnesota one)
We are giddy around here, anticipating a real good SNOW tomorrow! For people who fear every winter is our last (and I mean that our in the collective sense, and winter in the meteorological sense), there's nothing like a prediction of 6-10 inches to lift the spirits.
Now, those of you who hate shoveling and long for wearing your sandals again, I don't want to hear any whining. It's almost December, and you live in Minnesota. The larger climate pattern of the earth favors you summer people anyway. Let us have our snow days. .. lots of them, please.
