The wife lost another of her dwarf Alberta spruce evergreens this week <br />Making a total of three she has lost to the extreme drought in the Southeast <br />With late fall temperatures rising to well above the record seventy five degrees <br />The rain that had originally been predicted for the month has failed to materialize <br />And all the unwashed squirrels and the birds are beginning to stink… <br />The cars stay clean and the lawn stays cut or uncut as the case may be <br />I get more spare time to watch sports on TV <br />The weathermen are all stumped as to when if ever it will rain <br />But I see this as a positive thing and I am therefore pleased to report <br />That this year there will be none of that stupid White Christmas stuff… <br /> <br />2007 © T Sheridan<br /><br />Ted Sheridan<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/frosty-the-snowman-a-victim-of-global-warming/
