First Snow

Before Halloween

By: - Oct 29, 2020

First Snow

Days from Halloween.
Two to five inches
To blanket the Berkshires
After midnight
One step ahead
Anticipating this day
Last spring
Never put shovel and scrapers
In the cellar
Still ready and waiting
Weather or not
Too old now
For snow angels
Shopped for essentials
Big Y was packed
On a thursday
Stocking up on stuff
Milk and eggs
Lots of TP
Used to be scarse
Everyone horded
We ordered from China
Months to arrive
Things on sale
We're so thrifty
Have to be nowadays
What with us being pensioners
Living on scrambled nest eggs
501 KKK
Down in Dixie
Look away, look away
Glommed baked beans
Pride of Boston
An easy lunch
Table Talk Apple Pie
Just $3.99
Not like Pennie's
For my birthday
That big cake
Now mostly gone.
Plates for neighbors
Rest in the freezer
The end with roses
Some ungodly color
Waiting for Christmas
With eggnog
Nice splash of rum
Me and the Mrs.
All snug and stuff
Let it snow
Let it snow
Let it snow
