We'll have to assume the snow-plow is a Farmall. ----- ----- ----- ----- ---THE SNOW AND I On the first snowy day I shovelled the drive, And on every face was a grin. The snow-plow came by and I waved to the guy, And shovelled the driveway again. We popped some popcorn and made some hot cider, Pleased that the snow was not rain. I fell on the ice, but the cold air was nice, As I shovelled the driveway again. I jump-started the car but didn't get far, As I slid through a fence down the lane. The tow-truck came soon and I got home by noon, And shovelled the driveway again. My next little slip injured my hip, But I crawled in in spite of the pain. I took a hot shower and rested an hour, And shovelled the driveway again. When the limb broke the lines I fell off the roof And gave my pore back quite a strain. But I knew I'd be found as I lay on the ground, And could shovel the driveway again. When the house got so cold my wife packed her bags, And smiled as she waved from the train. I bought heavy socks and a new pair of gloves, And shovelled the driveway again. Since the car wouldn't run I missed a weeks work, And the boss called up to complain. He said I was fired, and thoough I was tired, I shovelled the driveway again. Now I can't speak and I'm feeling quite weak, From backache and sore-throat pain. But the snow-plow came by and I'll just have to try, To shovel the driveway again. They say that down south they don't have this snow And I wonder if I am insane. I'd ponder it more, but I'm just out the door, To shovel the driveway again.
