Global Warming? I Think Not. Poem by ivor or ivor.e hogg

Snow has fallen, snow on snow.
The temperatures remaining low.
There is no sign of any thaw,
In fact we are expecting more.

It’s snowing intermittently.
With intervals of weak sunshine
but it is freezing constantly.
With dread black ice the bottom line

A hazard for the traveller
who has no choice but has to go
Though most of them would much prefer
to stay at home out of the snow.

Authorities are struggling to
ensure the major roads are free
of snow to let the traffic flow.
Albeit very carefully.

Its more than thirty years ago.
Though some of us can still recall
the problems caused by heavy snow.
But memories don’t help at all.

We have to cope with here and now
and not what happened years ago.
We have to show that we know how
to overcome this winters snow.

We do not know when thaw will come
as it has always done before.
But we are sure we will welcome,
the sight of snow free roads once more.
