A great percentage of people have been hit with snowstorms recently. This reminded me of the work I did with 75 snow contractors years ago… I was inspired to write this poem.
“The Snow Contractor”
By Tony Bass
The snow comes down
In the dark of night.
When we awake
The world is white.
You lay in bed
So rested and warm
While we go out
To fight the storm.
The trucks come alive
With power and purpose
To quickly clear
Your icy surface.
So we plow and push
And we push even more
Now you’re ready for work
To open your store.
Walkways are frozen,
Still more work to do.
Taming the storm
With a sidewalk crew.
No slips trips or falls.
Safety is our mission.
Protecting Your
Liability position.
We are men with machines
Putting snow in piles.
Contracting with you
And making you smile!
One final detail,
Our written arrangement.
We send the bill
You make prompt payment!
Originally written and dedicated in honor of the professional snow contractor by Tony Bass at the Snow Forum, Las Vegas September 22, 2009.
