A Cold Warning Advisory
As Submitted To The Public Announcement Challenge
We have been told
It’s very cold
Everyone needs to stay bold
When confronting the weather bitter
Wearing wool designed by the knitter
Blankets cover
All passionate lovers
Fireplace logs burn
Waiting to be stoked and turned
Careful getting too close
Chest and nuts will roast
Stoop smothered with snow
Slippery conditions dangerously grow
You should know
Before you go
Out the door
Armed for
A wintry war
Take some time
Rest and recline
Plan a darken romantic dine
Filled with warm wine
Bought with a well-earned nickel and dime
Remember term papers will be due
Google library will help you through
Writing what you think
Grades won’t sink
Setting up a plan
To attack the spring exam
Follow this poetic advice
Which is a public service, being nice
Warning about what to do
Preventing one turning blue
And fold
In the cold
Waiting for summer gold
