Winter Days

Winter has come to Winnipeg
And the gusting wind does blow
It is 60 miles an hour
And nearly 30 degrees below

I’m beginning to fear frostbite
From just a moment out the door
The snow is swirling everywhere
The wind is at a roar

Twilight seems to last all day
As clouds disguise the sun
The darkness makes time decay
The days and nights are one

But I would not leave this icy place
The reasons aren’t profound
It really is quite simple
I’m frozen solid to the ground
