A Snow Day Poem for FC Highlife

02/08/2010

One cool, balmy day

Many eons ago,

Land, lake and creatures

Were enveloped in snow.

White, silent tears

Dripped from above,

Covering all life forms

With God's frozen love.

Suddenly nature,

For so long hot and humid,

Turned summer to winter

And Bug into human.

Flash forward to present,

2 months of mild weather,

A January cool

Like a cowboy's first leather.

Then February said,

"Enough! I want cold."

And down from the heavens,

A storm did unfold.

Like the soldiers of Persia,

The snow was relentless

Knocking out power lines,

And making a huge mess.

The City shut down,

The landscape turned white

And Saturday morning,

There was a snowball fight! (imagine Willem Dafoe here)

The Saints won New Orleans

And Brennan said "fuck",

Scott Merrill's mustache

Brought him good luck.

Lambert got booped!

Clark played with his boner.

Morsey got hammed

And found a blood donor (he's dying of Jameson).

McCabe drank new beer,

For his BBQ shop

Pat pulled his pants down,

And something went plop!

Wurm drank and danced,

Joy pounced and pranced,

Lex sent out pics

Of his new girl from France.

As for me, I'm off crutches

And laughing with Fokker,

Looking for jobs,

And looking forward to soccer.

For all of you friends,

It's important to say,

Be gentle, be bold

and Happy Boy Scout Day.
