WHERE'S MY THERMAL UNDERWEAR?
Waiting For a Winter Storm
Arctic blast warnings.
Bitter biting barbaric,
Chaotic cold, extreme temperatures.
Driving isn't advised.
Emergency rations ready.
Feels like Alaska.
Groceries in pantry,
Home secure and ready.
Indoors, warm blankets added.
January's checklist checked.
Keep water pipes warm.
Leave water dripping.
Memories of past ice storms.
Nature will nix classes.
Outrages outages,
Power off, power on.
Quiet.
Revolving electricity.
Store supplies, stay home.
Texas, colder than Nebraska,
Under Winter advisory.
Violent winds,
Winterize for extreme weather.
X-ed out each day.
Yearning for,
Zeal of Spring.
