Just thinking ...

Snowstorm on my mind ‘Twas two weeks after Easter, and all through our town
Not a creature was stirring—they’d all fallen down!
The cars were all parked, or else snug in a ditch,
And all the glad skiers felt blesséd and rich.
While I—at the keyboard—and you—in your bed—
Were eyeing the weather forecast in our heads.
The moon on the breast of the new-fallen snow
Gave a luster of mid-day to the fast-freezing slush,
When what, to my wondering eye, did appear
But a snowplow preceding an RTD bus!
“On Diesel, on Four-Wheel, on Studly and Traction!
On Sand Truck, on Chain Law, on Anti-Lock Action!
To the top of the hill, to the top of the drift,
Now slide away, skid away, hapless and swift!”
As I sighed in despair and was turning away,
Down the highway a tow truck was coming my way!
He spoke not a word, but went straight to his work:
He hitched up his chain, snapped it tight with a jerk,
Then, laying his bill in my quivering hand,
He gunned it and pulled me back to solid land!
And I heard him exclaim, as he drove out of sight,
“Only a fool's out driving tonight!”
