Shoveling Snow

By D.L. FinnPublished about a year ago 1 min read

The old man shoveled the steady snow,

Hanging onto his retirement dough.

Ignored offers of help,

Back twisted with a yelp.

Makes that call, hearing a smug hello.

    Dear D.L. ~ Just love your 'Original' Quips and eclectic offerings among the many snippers with sharp scissors of late. I've never shoveled snow as an old guy - 'Got-Dough' to call 'The Guy' if need be. *I've subscribed with pleasure Jay, Jay Kantor, Chatsworth, California 'Senior' Vocal Author - Vocal Village Community -

    Oh my goodness. This reminds me of my mom who insists on gardening and hurts her back every time.
