“Why I Love New England,” forwarded by D. Cooper:
It’s winter in New England, and the gentle breezes blow,
Seventy miles an hour, at fifty two below.
Oh, how I love New England, when the snow’s up to your butt.
You take a breath of winter air, and your nose, it freezes shut.
Yes, the weather here is wonderful, so I guess I’ll hang around.
But I could never leave New England, ’cause I’m frozen to the ground !!!!!
