BLIZZERD’ OF ‘87

Do ya ‘member the blizzerd of ‘87?
She struck her blow, puttin’ Spring on the run!
There were’nt ‘narry a road out there that was clear,
Yep!  She killed off all the warm weather fun!
 
The lawnchairs out back, they were burried in snow,
The swimmin’ pool?..It twarn’t of no use!
I’ll tell ya, twern’t fit fer man ner beast!
The blizzerd of ‘87 dealt a heap of abuse!
 
The Cable T.V., it went on the fritz,
All THREE cars, they were covered with snow!
The furnace kept runnin’..like ta never shut off!
Yup! The blizzerd of ‘87 dealt quite a blow!
 
Well lemme tell ya now, this is the actual truth:
‘Stead-a VISITIN’, we had ta use the PHONE.
We were trapped there, in our 10 room house.
Yup!  There we were, stranded together, alone!
 
We watched T.V., ‘till it finally konked out,
Played a table game called ‘Monopolee’...
Took a long nap under our ‘lectric’ blanket,
T’wer a turrible blizzerd, as you can see!
 
We were snowed-in fur a powerful long spell,
Just ponderin’ on it gives us quite a fright!
Why, if they hadn’t doubled-up on them snow crews,
We mighta been trapped MORE than ONE night!
 
Fur a fact, the Blizzerd of ‘87,
T’was the roughest one of the year!
Come ta think of it tho, it was kinda NICE...
Jest ME and my WIFE alone together here!

Praise the Lord!  For all the modern conveniences He has
blessed us with, that actually made this otherwise ‘paralyzing’ blizzard ENJOYABLE!
