IT'S 65 BELOW, by                    
First Line: The trees are draped with icicles
Last Line: At 65 below!
Subject(s): Winter


The trees are draped with icicles,
The ground is deep in snow,
It's way too cold for mushing dogs --
It's 65 below!
Give me a nice warm cabin,
A pot of coffee, too,
And hotcakes with my bacon
While the flames roar up the flue.
The dogs are glad to stay at home
At 65 below!
They're filled with fish and tallow
And sleeping in the snow.
My parka hangs beside the door,
My mukluks and my mitts,
I'll stay indoors
Until it thaws
And winter says he quits.
For the sky has two old dogs
And the frost shines on the snow --
It's much too cold
For mushing dogs
At 65 below!
