February 13th, 2023 - old man winter gave a one...two punch

CATEGORY

Views: 51

Overladen snow covered crackle and crunch
though, this skeptic owned a doubtful hunch
that such 24/7 round the clock whether coverage

would make laughingstock of forecasting

how Jack Frost feigned being out to lunch,

whereby inaccurate weather forecasters
outsmarted courtesy Mother Nature,
where snowfall accumulation tallied
one for the record books, a veritable blizzard
found meteorologists to scrunch

 

erroneous reports and quickly

retract how surprise Nor'easter
did quickly captcha
and wallop unsuspecting
sleeping out of towners
whipping surprise out figurative sleeve
when dziadek mróz (Belarusian: ???? ?????)
in the Belarusian language
in league with Jackie Frost,
both personifications getting last laugh

 

cuz women feel snubbed, shortchanged,

excluded, and being bossed
around feeling pinched at emotional,
physical, and spiritual cost
with million plus women marches

that did exhaust,

yet brought more equitable treatment,

and now risk being lost

in space at the outer limits

of the twilight zone or tossed

 

into the maws of Earth vis a vis

donning miner for a heart of gold,
where a frayed life line offers tenuous hold
nonetheless, despite risks to life and/or limb
females can experience em bold
dinned journeying

exposing them to in extremis cold

and worthy bets

at gambling halls upon casino bluffing,

thence, slapping (with poker face)

 

upon table a winning hand

abruptly forcing game to fold

grinning ear to ear while she scoops up gold
repudiating ugly rumors stereotyping women,
within which many other arenas

the devastatingly constricting mold

now upon many another proving grounds
non verbally, smugly,

and proudly assert" I told
you so" garnering, inviting, and

 

kickstarting kudos where,

their overdue praiseworthy virtues extolled

which hard fight now pits

more gals to enter the scrum
letting actions speak louder than words
as bragging rights allow them to keep mum
though insinuating
rightful opportunity to whisk plum
ming access, where once (and still

to a lesser degree)

 

men didst unfairly prune

and hurl cruel names like hey
“scumbag," and/or other unflattering brickbats

versus increasing plaudits showered from
on high spelling victory

toward equality effacing glum

scowl into smile breaking out

finding more men grudgingly

bestowing deserved accolades
re-evaluating experiencing

 

the fairer sex lobbing smart
aleck nuggets of wisdom, now

despite being a youthful looking

roam'n lxv year old married heterosexual
underscoring, befriending opposite gender

making ladies in waiting

tubby a worthy chum

now, this bum
seeks Alma Mater dames

and graduates of

Hard Knocks School Alum.
