DREAMING OF AN ICE STORM


Careful what you wish for
"I'm dreaming of a White--!"
Icicles on the road
Trees down at Grandma's house
Planes won't be leaving for two days
Two inches is now two feet
Where's the white line?
In the middle of the street
OK, but where is the street?
My cars in the river a foot deep
Santa's up there disturbing
Grandpa's sleep, "Who ate my cookies?"
Fat man get those Reindeer off my roof
Dog chasing you, "Woof woof woof!"
"You bought me a Red Rider bee bee gun?"
All the other kids have a Blackberry phone.
"Sweetheart, I don't wear Pajamas---
most men would appreciate that."
Six hours to drive fifteen miles"
I know it is snowing the kids are playing in it
"Where is the car--you left it on the freeway?"
"I'm dreaming of a white Christmas"
Becausse the in-laws can't get out of the driveway
"They are staying where overnight?"
"I'll pay for the taxi to get them to Indiana."
Grandpa drank all my Crown Royal?
Put him on some ski's before he sobers up
Merry Christmas to you all and those
not used to a White Christmas
The stuff melts in three or four days
Get out the sandbags Martha it's melting.
