A winter song by Quinn

Words by Quinn Lavender
Music by Jule Styne



O the weather outside is snowing
And I can’t see where I am going
And even though traffic’s slowed
He’s off the road! She’s off the road! I’m off the road!

I was cautious when the sports car tried to pass --
So how’d I get high-centered on an overpass?
To the sports-car-driving clown:
“Slow it down! Slow it down! Slow it down!”

When I finally get dug out
And my car gets pointed the right way
Before I get back en route:
A plow covers my car with its spray…

So the next time the snow starts falling
And work or church or family is calling
I’ll avoid those roads so slick…
And call in sick! Call in sick! Call in sick!

Results of the fast food Showdown Royale...with cheese

Thanks to all to participated in this random match-up. The response was so great that I actually had to tally the votes on paper.


I wanted to give my two cents on the matter, which are: The Burger King costumed mascot guy is actually quite creepy, and I'm really surprised that nobody mentioned this. There was also no discussion about how a Queen trumps a King in chess, as well as in household matters, unless the king is Henry VIII. But this isn't Henry VIII, this is the Burger King. Come to think of it, I'm not exactly sure exactly what line of authority these two oligarchs claim. Wouldn't it be interesting if the Burger King and the Dairy Queen married and had a child? That would be one powerful prince or princess. Now, where was I? Oh, yes: the deciding factor for me is the fact that Dairy Queen sells Picadilly Chips, and you just can't find those anywhere else -- even in restaurants that sell "Fish and Chips" and then mock you by bringing out Fish and French Fries. So thanks, Dairy Queen, for keeping it real.


Taking my vote into account, though, the tally is as follows:

Undecided: 2

Dairy Queen: 3

Burger King: 5


There was also one misguided individual who voted for Arby's despite the fact that this was a fast food royalty showdown, and last I checked, an "Arby" was not a position of regality or nobility.


Burger King: You ARE the winner.



Creepy.
