Snow Angels of Pigtown

 Music and Lyric by Dennis Davison

 

Cataclysmic temperatures abound

Slush and powder form a gelid compound

Horizontal sprite stamps in the drift

Perfectly designed or sometimes makeshift

Ice phantoms make no sound

Inclement skies won’t keep these spirits down

 

Snow Angels of Pigtown, Snow Angels of Pigtown

 

Apparition craters still confound

Frosted indentations pock the flocked ground

These divots left behind

have come to mark a fleeting place in time

 

Snow Angels of Pigtown, Snow Angels of Pigtown

 

When mercury takes a dive

that is the time these flightless wonders thrive

 

They spastically recline

Refrigerated genies flecked in rine

 

Limbs akimbo frantic masterpiece

Marking whitewashed landscapes, they will not cease

Wizened weather forecasters debate

Bold predictions rendered on their sad fate

When Fahrenheit ascends

angelic whimsy crashes to its end

 

Snow Angels of Pigtown, Snow Angels of Pigtown
