OUR NEW STORM IS HERE!

OUR NEW STORM IS HERE!

(sung to “Oh Susanna!”)

Our latest storm has found its way

To our neighborhood…

Rhode Island has begun to sleet,

Having all snow is good!

Oh, the snowfall

Is fast enough for me…

But will the snow be plowed enough,

When I drive off at three?

I shoveled out the exit ramp,

The muscles hurt me so…

I started on the front walkway,

Rob said that I could go!

Oh, this snowstorm

Is fast enough for me…

I wonder if the roads are plowed

When I leave for work at three?

It seems to be letting up,

We sure don’t need the rain…

Wet, slippery slush is hazardous

Makes driving a real pain!

Oh, this snowstorm

Has dumped enough for me…

I wonder if the highway’s plowed

By the time I leave at three?

THE WORST POSSIBLE PLACE

THE WORST POSSIBLE PLACE

Drove home early in the storm,

The boss wanted me safe and warm…

Took my time,

No crazies in line

And roads were in pretty good form.

At home, all spaces taken,

Parking rules forsaken…

I parked on the side

In back where I spied

A place to save my bacon.

My wife awoke from the pounding

Of our door and a shout resounding…

“Come move your car

This instant from ‘thar’,

Plowed snow all around you is mounding!”
