Winter, by Henry Gibson......

So I'll ask you... would you rather jump in the pool... 90 degrees, REAL nice......or,
Scrape like hell, the windows of the 2002 Buick, of ice..... 

I know all about likes... Some of the people like Winter all of the time.... All of the people like Winter some of the time...  But you've got (bad) frosted breath if you think all of the people like Winter, all of the time - no ifs, ands or butts.  Personally, I'd think you're nuts.

I'd love to shoot hoops, 90 degrees, but realize, at 73, the sight of that might scareya...  trust me, it's better, thank Flick's  use of pole in "I double dog dareya." (Tongue not in cheek)

Today it hit 20... and to that I say.........
YES SW Airlines, I wanna get away....

Where to (Dear) Henry (Dear) Henry...   Canada? Alaska?  Upstate NY? Ha, that's absurd.....
Ms. Liza. (Dear Liza Dear Liza).. set my Compass, GPS, SOUTH,  so I can be a Snowbird...

Chirpy friends, who brag of yummy forecasts, ye of Florida, Texas, AZ, NM, SoCal, Mehico - I've blocked you, but just remember... 
It's only for Feb, Jan, Dec, November...

I no likey, snow, ice, 'snain, ice melt, stickshift on'a vely slick hill.. slip sliding, this way, that way......
I REPEAT, SW Airlines...... I wanna get away....

But Henry (Dear Henry Dear Henry) think of the sights.. .the lights.. lit trees, bulbs, orni's, tinsel - keepin' your head on a swivel.......
But Liza (Dear Liza Dear Liza) you can have all that AND Rudolph, put it, you know, the 'tundra' where the the sun don't shine - not me, I prefer not to shrivel.

Yes, I'm prolly stuck here... cussing at gas bill, snotnose knocking on door to shovel.. Me, downing anxiety pill... aware it's a strong word, but, Winter, I hate.....
Wake me (Dear Liza Dear Liza) on March first, I'm off to hibernate....

So, aforementioned friends of warm places, send me your forecast, I double dog dareya to do it......
For voodoo doll is on fridge, pins right next to it.

Love, Henry Gibson
