The Storm©

People rushing about to get the last of food off the store shelves
Everyone stocks up on shovels, candles, dry ice and the like
Don’t leave your car on empty
Who knows what you my run out of
But who are we kidding
Once the snow comes
No one will be going anywhere
Everyone sits by the window watching the snow fall
Dreading the moments we’ll have to clear it away
Wondering when will it ever end
The kids are all happy for they know they’ll be no school
They can build some snowman, make snow angels and sled down multiple hills
Rows of hot cocoa will line every counter
Huge plows will clear the roads
While their drivers are wishing they were home
But coffee keeps them going until they’ve made us all safe
The storm awaits for an opportunity to do it all again
So take cover and wait until it’s safe to venture out
You wouldn’t want to have to wait until they can thaw you out
