This winter weather’s Arctic blast
Brought out the coats and leather gloves
The forecast says that it won’t last
Soon back to freezing or above
A single digit plunge of cold
Not often felt around these parts
In future years the stories told
No doubt include this winter’s start
In wind the powdered flurries blew
They could not cling to frozen ground
Like birds on wings they soared and flew
Not here to stay they’re homeward bound
I’m grateful for a place to stay
For heat and warmth this winter day
