Ten Below Zero- Are You Nuts Or Are We

Photograph taken from our living room window 1/2/18
It’s now ten below zero outside, as cold as it could be;
Our Florida bones are freezing, are you nuts, or is it we?
We had a choice to stay in Florida, or move up here to the North;
We didn’t expect “Old Man Winter”, to bring such frigid air us forth!
.
The sun outside is shining, and the sky is powder blue;
But if you dare to go out and enjoy it, it will freeze the ass off you!
This is not for what we bargained, 25 degrees below the norm;
We’ve become agoraphobic, in this freakin’ Winter storm!
.
It has to soon get better, for it could not get much worse;
Thank God for the potent potables, which I freely do disperse!
We are counting every day now, till comes Spring, and Winter’s thaw;
But until then, our newest credo, is “There ought to be a law”!
.
.
We love great records
But the kind we listen to
This one not so cool

Hi Larry, I love your poem! I am a sun lover living close to the sea so I know how much you must miss the warmth.. but it does look very beautiful nonetheless and if it benefits both of you healthwise then its a price worth paying- Happy New Year my friend and stay cozy and warm!!! xx

My Dear Lodigiana,
It is beautiful, the first time Linda has seen snow in twenty years, unfortunately, due to a pre-existing lung condition, the ice cold air is not good for her. So that beautiful panorama, is like "The Forbidden Apple".
Love,
Larry xxx
One can only hope that the sun shines soon for both of you! xxx

I will tell you Larry it is cold here in the villages today 35 windy rainy to much for me this the colds its been here since I been here I don't like I will deal with it
Dear Greg,
We are forty-five degrees colder here, so it's tough for us to feel sorry for you, because in no time at all, you'll be back in the 80's.
Love,
Linda and Larry xxx
