I HATE cold beer.

We get teased in Britain for drinking warm beer but now most young people drink European/American and Aussie chilled lagers.

I fancy a nice slippery sauce in this sandwich myself. Mmmmmm.

Oh boy, this sounds like it could turn into a racy novel right here.

We have so many dislikes in common! Do you also like scalding hot tea/coffee and soup? I don't like cold liquids but I want the hots extremely hot.

Yep,

Hotter the better.

my wife says "Have you got a cast iron throat? You can't have drunk that already"

however,

Not a HOT bathtub. It's something about lowering equipment I think.

My wife gets out RED. No, not for me.

A subject?

So many things in my head....ummm...

Room Temperature Snow.

THAT's your subject, so i can have room-temperature beer while I'm out in the snow not getting cold...that should help you think. I don't like the cold but I like snow.

Well here is your request Kathleen,

I hope you like it?

Comfortable Snow

(c) Roger Macdivitt

.

"Open up the window dear

It's awfully warm in here"

Said Mary's husband sweating

And sipping at his beer

.

"I really don't remember when

A winter was so warm, and men

Were forced to drink their beer outside

Or place it in the fridge again".

.

"Oh please don't fuss so, silly man"

Said Mary opening another can,

"Take this outside and drink it there

"I'll try to fix the stupid fan"

.

So out Joe went with ice cold ale in hand

While Mary opened, flapped and fanned

She soon had things all cool and comfy

And served up lunch just as she’d planned

.

Come afternoon and Joe was moaning

“It’s flaming hot”, he kept on groaning

“I’m sick of this, my beers not cold”

But he downed some more, all warm and foaming

.

“Have you seen this?”, Mary enquired

“This seems to be just what’s required”

On one page of her daily news

Was some breaking news, she's now inspired

.

Try the latest room cool snow

Make warm snow with “SnowBloGlo”

Did this sound good to Mary’s spouse?

“Shall I order one then Joe?”

.

Without one minutes hesitation

Joe said “Yes” with animation

And despite his all enveloping heat

Joe lay back in contemplation

.

“Was that the post?” Mary enquired,

“It seems much later now we’re retired”

Indeed it was and here in splendour

Was SnoBloGlo, now so both admired

.

“Put it in the sunroom dear,

Switch it on and grab a beer”

Joe didn’t need a second asking

He switched it on and sat quite near

.

It whirled and whizzed and spluttered

It coughed and fizzed and muttered

It nearly blew a fuse and died a death

But then from somewhere, something fluttered.

.

“It’s snow, It’s snow” Joe shouted loudly

“Come on, get back and please don’t crowd me”

A funny thing was snow despite the heat

This snow’s all mine thought Joe most proudly

.

“Don’t get cold” said Mary worried

“Is it cooler now the snow has flurried?”

And so it was it didn’t melt though

And Joe drank beer now quite unhurried

.

The neighbours flocked to see old Joe

Sitting in his own ice flow

Still warm as toast, enjoying life

Not too hot, a beery glow

.

Room temperature snow has proved a hit

If it gets too deep just vacuum it

Joe and Mary in summer clothes

Quite content to drink and sit

.

SnoBlowGlo brings cool indoors

In summer, winter comfort restores

It’s ski-able and snowball friendly

And retails cheap in local stores

OMG!!! I think the Canadians may even like this, even if they won't admit it! SnoBloGlo? LOLOLOL!!! I'm not gonna say it! That just made my evening! THANKS. It was like a story, I hope it didn't strain your brain too much. That poem is well worth publishing.
