That Snow Poet (That's No Poet?) Poem by Chuck Audette

That Snow Poet (That's No Poet?)

Rating: 5.0


Ahhh, the fresh canvas of new fallen snow
and the promise of beer-bloated bladder
no pencil, but my pen is, well, you know..
(to a true poet, size doesn't matter)

I claim nothing such, but this mighty oak
begs for a sonnet or three
so upon it I plant acorny joke
and spout forth my pee-a-tree

and I saved some ink, too, for the crisp clean ground
and my rhymes were sharp and biting
but my publisher says a deceit they have found
for it was my wife's handwriting!

This about covers every joke one could mine on the subject, Chuck! Shame on you for not giving the wife credit all this time... ; ] Fun puns and wordplay throughout, but then hey, you're the master! Est : ]

Chuck, Snow way to treat a lady, This is what you need to know, You are below the ice ... that lies beneath the snow... Giving her the credit is not the same ... as giving her the blame...
