The Ice Slick: An Apology

Mother Nature Speaks (A Drabble)!

Dear Montréal,

Well, this has been a fun two days.

Ha, ha.

Sorry, I am not well-known for my sense of humour. Often I have been told that I should mind my own business and know my place. Offensive, yes, but I can understand the sentiment. But I needed to vent a little before the season was over. I often feel that you do not appreciate what I give you every summer, and that winter is the price you gotta pay.

Seriously, maybe be a little more considerate.

And lay off all of that salt. It's a mess.

M. N.
