Canadian Winters
Poetry
Ode to a Canadian Winter
It's snowing in Calgary
No more to be seen
For months on end...
The colour green.
For months on end...
The colour green.
More thoughts on a Canadian Winter
Green, green will n'er be seen.
Green, green is out of sight,
Unless, it's seen... on a traffic light.
Unless, it's seen... on a traffic light.
Oh Green, green will no more be seen!
For grass-like colour is no more,
Unless it's painted... on someone's door...
For grass-like colour is no more,
Unless it's painted... on someone's door...
