Snow Day

Snow Day

Snow
and it's psychological
ramifications;
in my yard
and in my mind.

Some of it stuck.
Not enough
to build a snowman,
and too wet
to lie down
and make a snow angel.

Instead,
I went out
and scraped enough off
the Alfa Romeo
to throw a couple snowballs
at my amphibian,
and my Bristol.

Then I came inside
and bragged about it
to you.
Brings out the child,
doesn't it?

By the way,
the amphibian's name is
Gokwiis;
it sounds like
it might be
some kind of
mythical sea monster,
but it's just
an acronym for
"God only knows what it is".
