Some season's greetings....

 My Perennial Powdery Passion

O! How I wish for season's melting
"Season's greetings"?--Balderdash!

Upon the roof, I hear ice pelting

As our hot furnace burns up cash!

A Christmas white may edify

Those few who freezing pleases

But me?  The temp I'd modify

I pray this season eases!

The greeting cards regale the snow

With glad "White Christmas!" greetings

But all of it I care to know

Are huddled indoor meetings.

To ice, I'd hap'ly say "Good day!"

Except in my mixed bev'rages

Their chill's the only ice I pray--

I leave snow's praise to odist sages!

Snowed In!

There's little solace in the snow

Hunkered down, en-iced, inside

Though I can sense soupçon of solace

Since our election satisfied

Gloom from politics and climate, too

Stifled season's glee and spirit

But seeing that it's getting through

Puts on a glaze (or some of it)

Covid may be paling now

Politics improving, too

Yet--outside I hear a plow

And beg these frosty days be few!

Ah, yes, the solstice, nearly done

A dab of cheer this datum brings

Since longer days will soon be-dawn--

So, let us go a-caroling!
