Humour, Poems

My dislike of snow conveyed in a poem and sung to a carol.

Sleepy June has just looked out

And was disbelievin’

At the snow that lay about

Deep and cold and even.

Grumpy she went back to bed

Snow’s a total nightmare

Pulled the duvet o’er her head

And is going no-oh-where.

Bring me coffee, bring me food

Bring my laptop hither.

Staying in bed today is good

Snow just makes me shiver.

I’ll stay cosy, read some books

They are my salvation

In my bedroom, if one looks

I’m planning hibern-ay-ay-tion.

Shopping in an online store

Really is the business

I just need a little more

Then I’m set for Christmas.

In my bed and drinking tea

Forgetting wintry woes

This is just the life for me

Who cares if it sno-oh-ohs?
