Very cold north country night gale Below zero on the scale Freezing tundra of wind, ice 'n snow ev'rywhere In blue vast cold frigid sky air Wit' hills covered fluo·res·cent white Whilst' critters slumber in ground hole tight Winds howling across the ice Leaving a white fog below amidst par·a·dise Snow sheets cover da' land un·end·ing Icicles hanging an-uh bending I walk on the ice wit' ice cube nose I leave footprints behind wit' frawst-bit-n toes I walk, skulk, scut 'n creep to my home below Under da' freeeeez'ng tundra of wind, ice 'n snow Bound by the gloom of a white jolt Pinned in the great silence of a cold revolt © daniel miltz
