It Was So Cold that . . .
. . . my car won’t start running and my nose won’t stop
. . . we had to stop eating with metal utensils since some people had spoons or forks stuck to their tongues for days
. . . hitchhikers wore mittens and held up pictures of thumbs
. . . I saw a gansta with his pants up around his waist
. . . kids were using a new excuse to stay up late: "But Mom, my pajamas haven't thawed out yet"
. . . my false teeth chattered in the glass on the nightstand
. . . UN weapons inspectors suddenly decided that chemical weapons might be hidden in Hawaii
. . . my friend chipped a tooth on his soup
. . . I saw a dog wearing a cat
. . . Starbucks was serving coffee on a stick
. . . we had a snowball fight . . . in the living room
. . . when we milked the cows, we got ice cream
. . . dogs had to put jumper cables on the rabbits to get a chase started
. . . politicians in Washington had their hands in their own pockets
. . . we pulled everything out of the freezer and huddled inside it to warm up
