A Weather Poem from Mom

Snow.
Snow.
Shower... no power?!
Snow.
Wet hair.
Snow.
Snow.
No garage door opener... no light... no way to see or reach control.
Snow.
Snow.
Co-worker will chauffeur, but doesn't know right from left. (PhD)
Snow.
Snow.
There's the MG&E truck.
There's a city snow/salt truck.
Snow.
"Stop! You're here. I see you."
"That's your house? That's not how I remember it at all."
Snow.
Snow.
Work: power, light, heat, Internet, coffee, and plug for my hair dryer.

So, how's the weather there?





Victor: Bonnie, what happened?
Bonnie: You woke me up.
Victor: No, I mean, why's the howse so quiet?
Bonnie: It happens sometimes. Dark, too. Go to sleep.
Victor: But Bonnie, I's thirsty.
Bonnie: So?
Victor: I's thirsty, but the fountain is off.
Bonnie: WHAT?!?!?! This is an emergency! Race around like an idiot while I stare down the fountain.
Victor: Will that help? We can still drink the water.
Bonnie: Have you got any better ideas? I know! I'll sleep in the sink until someone turns the water on.
Victor: Nobody's home but us.
Bonnie: We're doomed!
