Early Snow in Yankee Land

Hello from the Sunny South.

Early Snow in Yankee Land

 

By Elton Camp

 

How glad I am to live in the Sunny South

Though I must hear, “Well shut my mouth.”

 

“Youse guys” have an early start this fall

October snow has knocked out power & all

 

With heavy, wet snow and gusting wind

Limbs have fallen on power lines again

 

Your planes can’t fly & your cars can’t roll

So on your lives it is taking a heavy toll

 

You can’t depend on trains to get you back

Downed trees and signals stopped Amtrak

 

If you Yankees retire & don’t need to earn

Move South and do yourself a good turn

 

As long as a tornado doesn’t blow you away

You’ll find the South a far better place to stay
