My phone got lost sometime today
While shoveling out the driveway;
Lost in that snow
With still more to go.
I decided to stop for the day.
Inside, I tried to get warm
Hot cocoa worked, just like a charm.
No phone to call
Any friends at all
I handled my loss with aplomb.
"At least I've got TV to view."
Then I learned my remote was lost too.
When the power went down
From fallen trees all around
I switched gears then to salvaging food.
With my fireplace now roaring with heat,
I roasted some weenies to eat.
Made some s'mores for dessert
Ate them all 'til I hurt
Then headed to bed feeling beat.
I could have felt sad with no phone,
But I tried not to gripe or to groan.
Instead, curled up in bed
With a book I've not read,
I savored some "Me-Time" alone.
