Traffic Jam in January

Posted in Daily Photo

“Standing in the middle of the road is very dangerous;
you get knocked down by the traffic from both sides”
Margaret Thatcher

 

Traffic Jam in January

Drive, stop
Drive, stop
Drive, stop

Morning traffic shock
Cannot drive
Cannot walk

“This is much worse
Than Bangkok!”

Where are we?
In little Finn town
On a route, ever so fine
Now under construction
It will be our destruction!

Drive, stop
Drive, stop
Drive, stop

Art Work

After the snow storm
The water’s edge has transformed
Into a picturesque tableau,
Oh, what a show!

Straight Lines

When in doubt
You can either shout
Or simply follow
The straight lines
Which nature defined
With a white snow cover
And today,
You don’t even need a shovel!

Snowfall (TBT)

“A lot of people like snow. I find it to be an unnecessary freezing of water.”

Snowfall on a rainy day
So?
Today is a day, in January!
What more can I say!

Down the Hill

When ever there is snow on the ground
And a small mountain or a molehill found
The kids will arrive in flocks
Dragging their sleighs to the top
“Mommy, mommy, look at me!
Look how fast I am going!
Oops, look, there’s a tree!”

<Crash, bang, boing>

“Mommy, mommy, look no teeth!”
The kid only laughingly stated
As back up hill he ventured
If only to once more ride
Before getting his dentures

Sunday, Two

“Sunday evenings often feel like the weekend is over before it’s even begun”
Catherine McCormack

Sunday

Behind the shades
Weather in snowy haze
Kids with their sleighs
Running away
As the candle light’s reflected
Weekly grind neglected
Nothing but good feeling projected
Sunday is, perfected

Sunday, One

“Sunday evenings often feel like the weekend is over before it’s even begun”
Catherine McCormack

Sunday

The candles are lit
Softest of light they do emit
Inviting to sit
At least for a bit
Lazy day, admitting it
So now, nothing to do
But maybe knit
Before Monday morning
When it’s time to split

“A railroad station? That was sort of a primitive airport, only you didn’t have to take a cab 20 miles out of town to reach it.” Russell Baker

Public transit, oh what joy!
But, before you shout ahoy
Read this story of ploy…
