Drag myself out of the bed,

Dreading work, the day ahead

Stumble to the coffee pot

Feel as though I’ll need a lot

I shuffle to the bathroom now

Perhaps the shower will help somehow

Now, for the weather check

So I’ll know which clothes to pick

I drag the door back, and look out

And suddenly I want to shout

Before me there are mounds of snow

No people out, No way to go

Flip on the news and sure enough

The city is in a total muck

All over town businesses are closed

Excitement is crawling to my toes

I phone the office to report

I cannot come today to work

“Quite a shame, for sure” I say

To have another “snowed in” day

Once the phone is safely off

I yelp and jump and skip and hop

Somehow no longer needing sleep

I grab that book I want to read

I hit the coffee pot again

Pop out the recliner and climb in

Nothing energizes me more I say

Than a lazy, do nothing, “snowed in” day
