Cold Without Snow

by William Jackson on 2005-02-26

Ma Nature can be cruel sometimes;
But not paddle-cruel,
Nor grounding.
What did I do to deserve this?

If I stayed out too late last night
It was balmy weather made me do it,
Honest.
Midnight walks in pajama pants I canʼt resist.

I suppose the Lone Star State is infamous
For these bizarre weather patterns.
“If you donʼt like the weather, wait ten minutes,”But donʼt letʼs be cliché about it.

Let me take this fleeting moment
To complain:
Cold without snow
Might as well be thorns without roses.
