Ode to The Blizzard
During the many hours I spent outside shoveling and moving my car this weekend due to the snow emergency*, I came up with the revised lyrics to this winter classic.
…
Sung to the tune of “Let it Snow:”
“Oh, the weather outside’s horrendous,
The amount of snow — stupendous*,
The snow levels have reached their top …Make it stop, make it stop, make it stop!
My gas tank is nearly empty,
But the snow? Of that, there’s plenty,
And since I still have to shop …Make it stop, make it stop, make it stop!
Well, after you dig out your car,
You still have to turn it about
Yay! you’ve finally reached the odd side
But, how will you ever get out?At last it seems that it’s slowing,
Time for more shoveling and snow blowing,
Now the temps have begun to drop …Make it stop, make it stop, make it stop, Please …
Make it stop, make it stop, make it stop!”
*Minneapolis received 20 inches of snow on December 11, 2010.
