Woe Snow and Ice Woe

AnElephantCant hide his disappointment
He has never met a harpoonist
His reader may surmise
That line was contrived
Is AnElephant a cold-blooded opportunist

In winter we have sub-zero temperatures
Midnight is no frostier than noon is
If you hear a clunk
That’s his icicled trunk
Because the sun is less warm than the moon is

But he tries hard to keep warmth in his humour
And to trumpet no matter how frozen his tune is
Things can always be worse
Just read this terse verse
By Bud Neill Scotland’s legendary cartoonist

 

Winter’s come, the snow has fell
Wee Josie’s nose has froze as well
Wee Josie’s frozen nose is skintit*
…Winter’s diabolical intit?**

* skintit – skinned, scraped
** intit  – do you not agree, or if you are from the USA, ain’t it

Bud Neill was a poet and cartoonist who created the wonderfully named villain Rank Badyin, arch-enemy of Lobby Dosser, the Sheriff of Calton Creek (pictured below).
