Popsicle Toes

Popsicle Toes

by Bud Lemire

I’ve got icicle fingers, and I’ve got Popsicle toes

And something hard and grotesque, is hanging from my nose

I’m frozen everywhere, I even got snowball ears

The water from my eyeballs, have turned to crystal tears

I am so frozen, I lost feelings everywhere

The gleaming on my head, are the icicles in my hair

I feel like a refrigerator, that’s turned up too high

I can’t even move a muscle, even if I try

I feel I’m living in the ice age, although I’m really not

My brain must have frozen, there’s so much I forgot

I need to thaw out, I wish someone would defrost me

I have ice cubes, where I should have water on my knee

I’m sure if we kissed, we’d be stuck together

Maybe that would be the best part, of this ice cold weather

Or possibly your kiss, would melt away this ice

Now that’s a warm thought, that would feel so nice

Maybe if you can give me a warm hug, I wouldn’t be so chili

Even my kidney beans are frozen, it’s too hard to pee

You must really be hot, you’re thawing every body part

I guess it’s to be expected, with your warm warm heart

I’m so glad you warmed me, I’ll invite you to my igloo

I’m an Escanaba Eskymo, I owe a warm thanks to you

It gets quite cold here, this time of the year

How about another warm hug, I’m so glad you are here
