Snow Day

Snow Day

29

The beginning of the second Ice Age
Started with a series of unending
Monster winter storms,
Driven by the polar vortex.

Featuring bomb cyclone blizzards,
That hit the Northern Hemisphere
During the winter of 2024.

And continued until late spring,
When a series of monster hurricanes
Came along to cause more chaos.
The winter storms came back in the fall,
Ending, then reversing global warming,
Replaced by the coming
Of the second ice age.

During the first storm,
Sam Adams sat in his power-less
Historic Capitol Hill row house,
Boiling tea in a tea kettle on the gas stove.

With his favorite Kitten
He dubbed the Buddha Cat
Because the cat spends his days
Engaged in deep meditation.

Which had a calming
Impact on Sam
Who was going
Through cell phone withdrawal
Due to the long power outage.
