Winter In Texas

Texas winters,
those exist?
Who'd of thought?
After all,
Texas is the place where the
dustbunnies blow,
and the cowboys
walk into the
Saloons,
and the place
of eternal summers
right?
No.

There really is
a winter
in dustbunny Texas.
There is no snow.
There is no
cocoa
after sledding down
an icy slope.
No.

There is no
White Christmas
bundled up inside
friends and family
enjoying gifts and food and hugs and warmth
hiding from
the blizzard
outside
No.

Texas winters
are not
cold. There is
sun and shirts and shorts
and flip flops
flip flopping along.
No snow boots
No.

Heat.
There is so
much of it.
Sweat
Dripping down.
No.
This cannot be
winter
Who eats
ice cream in
winter?

This is the
Texas Winter.
Of
flip flops
and ice cream
and sweat.
Maybe,
just maybe,
I can learn
to love
this
Texas Winter

I eat ice cream in winter, and I live in Texas, so I can match to the poem.
