Hello, Old Man Winter
You have been hard at work this year.
You are estimated to have cost us $10,000,000,000.
Yet you won't give up.
True, you have not been so hard at work in some areas,
Like my home state in Missouri.
You may have passed over some areas
and I wonder if you were even missed!
Yet many of us have seen your handiwork.
The many inches of snow
that have made any form of travel a nightmare.
Thanks to your hard work,
Many people have been dealing with power outages
and much inconvenience.
Your other handiwork, ice, has visited many areas
and causing even more damage!
Thanks to your handiwork of snow,
many people have had many shoveling opportunities!
Your hard work has made one people group very happy!
Thanks to you, many school children
have enjoyed days off school,
and have days to make up.
Your handiwork has given my own daughter
more snow days than she has ever enjoyed any year.
I know this is true for many other students.
However, Old Man Winter,
as convenience doesn't build character
many people have had character-building opportunities!
Thanks to your hard work,
Many families have had to spend more time
actually getting to know each other!
Many credit your hard work to
something known as global warming.
Old Man Winter, many of us
have a suggestion for you!
We courteously request that you
Take a break from your hard work!
You need a LONG break!
Signed,
Lisa DeSherlia
and many other people.
