Blizzard of 06

Oh boy
snow snow snow
all day
white outside
20inches
to much to handle
to much to shovel

Dad
early am
calls the "the plow guy"
landscaper in the summer
"the plow guy" in the winter
please come and plow
he will come later

Dad
waits and waits
pacing pacing pacing
same all day
looks out the window
waits and waits
frustrated cranky he becomes
call someone else
he yells
be patient i say
holding my tongue

Patience is something
he cannot comprehend
82 he is

Finally 7:30pm
"the plow guy" arrives
dad gives instructions
10minutes
all is clear
our driveway we
can now see

"The plow guy"
leaves
dad gives him smile
and waves
all he says is
thanks...send me a bill
he does not address him
as he does not know
his name

Stressful day I had
my dad
will drive
anyone
bonkers

He is my
dad
thank god he is here
