Let it snow, let it snow.....NOT

'Twas a few days before Christmas
in our Winter Wonderland,
We've had more togetherness
than we can possibly stand.


Board games and card games
and football by the hour.
Cut-throat penny poker
and several bumps in the power.


I've baked more cookies
than we'll ever eat.
I've wrapped every present
and festooned the dog's feet.


But the ice on the trees is a wonderous sight --
long delicate fingers dance with nature's delight.


It's a rare time indeed, to see a landscape like this.
But being housebound and outnumbered, is no holiday bliss.


We've bowled on the Wii
watched Danny and Bing.
With snow drifts this high
they won't find bodies until spring.



So right jolly we'll be,
outside the Banana Belt.
Merry Christmas to you
but please send help.

Very cute! Staying indoors with your loved ones for days on end can be a bit...challenging. (To say the least.)
