Icecapades

Linda Louise Johnson
All skate!

Sir Pooch slipslides to his favorite potty place

now hidden under banks of snow

and covered with ice,

hard as a rock.

Lindy Lou walks out behind him

at a pace usually reserved

for one hundred and fifty year olds,

stiff as a board.

The car sits in the garage

wondering if it too

will get a chance

to go skating and

spin like a top.

    My dog never knows what to expect these days when she goes outside! The thermometer is a roller coaster and the snow appears and melts so often it's always a surprise.

    I know that 150-yr-old's walk. We need to have a blast of warm air come through to melt some of this snow and ice.
