Today's a basic Virginia winter rain
No snow, some ice, cold rain, a pain
North of here it's mostly snow
Which could be lots worse, ya know
A wild brown dog don't seem to care
Although he likes toweling off wet hair
Standing by the wood stove 'til hot
Then a nap on his cozy spot
We did take a late morning rain stroll
But, less than an inch, no creek roll
Last year at this time, different story
Almost five inches, flooding glory
Very quiet quake day, even Pacific west
Virgin Islands, Alaska, Cali most of rest
We all know that will change, soon
And, I know what we won't see, the moon
Clouds and rain will just keep on coming
With another icy start, more finger numbing
A little warmth and sun mid-week
Still don't think a course I'll seek
Cut and split more wood
That's what I should
Be doing, but not today
I sense a nap on the way
While the pork green chili simmers
And a fresh batch of salsa glimmers
All is good at the tire house
Amazing, haven't even seen a mouse
Maybe the rafter snake's still on patrol
Nice having snakes doing rodent control
Living on Earth, Today!
