Blizzard Of ‘09

It was a white-out sure as I was standing there A prisoner in the middle of a storm My camera snapping right and left It was the kind that could certainly do harm. I could barely see across the road So thick in the air it came Covering everything in its path Nothing about it was tame. And underneath this blanket of snow Was where ice and sleet began Stay in your home, officials announced Not fit for beast or man. Everything was closed for a time Not just kids home from school If you ventured out unnecessarily Why, you might be considered a fool. You shouldn’t drive, but if you must Take it slow and careful, my friend For cars were going every which way At times couldn’t even make a bend. Yes, it’s a blizzard we’ll not soon forget Please, we pray, make it go away Of course nothing lasts forever So we’ll be waiting for a spring like day!
