Scary Hairy Ice Slick Blues

Choosing to live on a side hill,

Will have its ups and downs,

Not bad to get through summers,

But winters can be so swell.

An ice slick forms down my driveway,

Water oozes from a side hill spring,

Slowly making travel scary,

Should I say it’s a little hairy?

Chickens have no right to live here,

Not daring to leave their nest,

When running water freezes a river run,

Four-wheel-drive can’t do its best.

If you’re lucky you’ll find a summer job,

If you’re smart you’ll leave this dive,

No matter what you decide to do,

Be thankful you’re still alive.

My winter ride needs replaced,

If I decide to stay here,

But if I move some place new,

The cost of it would break me.

Not sure what I should do,

Winter blues seem to stay,

As for this dreadful ice slick,

There will soon be warmer days.
