Texas Chills

Fixed outside the communal memory

A bitter cold grips Texas hard as iron.

Perpetual furnace loses to the flurry.

Folk palsies braved aguish dominion.

When the night embraces the day

And the rigor did finally gave way,

Residents found the roads slushy.

Their tires torque snow to mushy.

Inline, the Monarch of time disrobes,

The frigophobia lying midnight traveler.

He ignores his first duty to self-probe.

Shame on autophobia dirt-drip raveler.

In the most critical acts, the tough guy

betrays himself into acidic frozen chills.

While infer weaklings bestir help nearby.

Tough guys sometimes wear high heels.
