the spirit
of god moved upon
the face of
the waters,
and the waters of earth brought
forth sons and daughters

now when my
daughter’s kids show up,
it’s just like
they’re my own–
‘cept that when i’ve had enough,
i can send them home

from the trees,
a timber wolf sees
me stumbling
on the ice;
i can only hope that he’s
minnesota nice.

so why did
the deer cross the road?
nobody
really knows–
but i hope it wasn’t to make
a feast for the crows

Uff da, eh?
It’s tirty below
Or colder,
I’m guessing,
And wit dis here wind, it is
Mighty refreshing!

out walking
in the falling snow,
i feel true
peace of mind.
where did all my troubles go?
i left them behind!

it seems like
i’m in a snow globe,
on a shelf
by mistake,
and i can’t find my way out–
so please do not shake!

dear congress,
your big bill has passed,
but it comes
with a hitch:
you’ll have to take from the poor
to give to the rich.

you asked me
if i like the snow;
i said that
it’s okay–
to be fair, ask me again
on an april day

every
mountain lake i find
is a sight
to behold,
and offers a peace of mind
more precious than gold
