Winter's First Wave Frosty Invasion
Loosely Inspired And Submitted To The Frosty Verse Challenge

Innocent and white
What a sight!
Disappearing flakes descend
An arthritic message they do send
Are we prepared to defend?
Asking when?
This wintry first wave invasion
Secures temporary occupation
Season’s greetings we interpret the situation
Positively welcoming the new
Serving up a complementary bowl of stew
Outside we turn a chilling blue
Hearing about the forecast, unseasonably true
Moist parachuters stick to the ground
Claiming, traveling through our sunshine town
Observing our way of life
Using deceptive tourist tactics, sharp as a knife
Preparing their report
To the leaders housed inside the blizzard fort
Presenting findings
Wishing good tidings
Developing a major snow job
People’s freedom the foul fiends want to rob
I ask you spying frost
Tell your menacing boss
Calculating their meteorology course
And power play force
Summer soon will be here
We enjoy our glass of cheer
Nothing to fear
Except blazing ray spears
Pelting down,
Cooking us brown
Making skin flesh burn
Creating a cancer concern
We then declare
Our other reality loving affair
Tease the frost
Offer discount cost
And cooler days
Shady and grey
Luring frost, come and stay
Then enjoy the enemy’s bitterness melt away
Realizing, weather controls our lives
Until the day we die
That is why
We must cry
Summoning Mother Nature’s unrest
Requesting, be a friend, not a pest
