Ice Box Woes

JACK”E”

This freezing and thawing
dosey doe
the outdoors has frosted over
ice falls often,
putting the Ice Man of history
in balmy palms
though I hear the sunshine is dim
in the panhandle.
A chuck roast
whose rump has frozen
rock salt sprinkling
if this is dinner
I will screech on pass.
