-Big crowd at the "Save-a Lot"-


The weather has broken into sunlight
The last few days.
Outside temperature in the low 60s.
Early last week, two feet of snow.
Everything changes when the weather breaks.
“You believe this weather”?
The people say.
“You believe this weather”?
Say all the people.

I’ve been convinced by science,
And by the Service Department folks at “Pleasant Hyundai”
(my Hyundai dealership on Pleasant Street)
That salt is a corrosive element to metal.
It doesn’t seem right, but I’m convinced.
Salt, once innocent enough.

“Pass the salt, dear”.
Now it eats cars.
With the weather breaking,
I’ll go to the "Save-a-Lot" because
I need a new chamois cloth because 
The one in the trunk,
Inside the compartment with the alloy
Wheel cleaner, has seen its better wipes;
More holes than last year
And covered with grease spots
Not worth laundering.
Anyway, that kind of grease doesn’t
Just go away;
It simply moves to another location.

Mister mayor said: “We have the best
Snow removal equipment in south-
Eastern New England"!

Mister mayor moved the heavy snow from the road,
Plowing it into my car sitting at the entrance to the driveway.
Same snow. Different placement.
But it’s better now, now that the weather
Has broken to sunlight the last few days.

It's snazzy new Hyundai car washing time.
Time for a clean chamois cloth.
Big crowd at the "Save-a-Lot".
Big crowd.
