Twas the Night it Froze in Schroeder

By amphibianrose

Topics: Poetry Source: AllPoetry Original source

As night fell the mercury did drop the trailers all frozen from bottom to top The buzzards all hung on the limbs with care in hopes that a skunk soon would be there There on the road there arose such a creakin' A '69 Ford truck lots of oil he was leakin' Eight little bunnies shot into the grass bushy little cotton tail froze to their ass We leave faucets dripping we've had plenty of practice Nice not to lose any plants All we have is cactus The cold will leave when the sun comes out OOps left Rover outside Well, frostbite,no doubt Now Schroeder is not a bad little place, it freezes anywhere, you see but when that skunk didn't show as planned, why are they circlin' me??
