Welcome Home Snowbirds.
 

The traffic is denser
The long lines are tenser
The northern birdies are back

The wait is much longer
The accents are stronger
The northern birdies are back

The squares are more dancey
Tee times are more chancey
The northern birdies are back.

Old friends are returning
The night oil is burning
The northern birdies are back.

There's more entertaining
And much more complaining
The northern birdies are back.

Not much room at the market
And no where to park it
The northern birdies are back

Rookies on the roadways
Folks driving in strange ways
The northern birdies are back.

New ones and old ones
younger ones and older ones
The northern birdies are back.

Welcome HOME! We missed you.

Love it, Gracie! You are so creative. I will be spending my first year as a snowbird, arriving in a few days, and really appreciate your welcome.

I hope I will have the opportunity to meet you.

Like your poem. Graciegirl.
 

Enjoyed that. :a040:

Big Smile on my face!!!

I didn't know it, you're a poet! :clap2:

My sentiments, too.......Welcome Home dear friends!

What a hoot Gracie.

I give thanks every day for snowbirds/snowflakes. They are a major element that makes this financial model work when so many others fail:bigbow:

This is great Gracie! Glad to be back. Hoping to be here much longer this time.

I am glad they are back too! I just wish I could have put it into verse like Gracie did! amazing woman all 'round!

what a great way to meet the day! thanx. that poetry went so well with my bagel and cawfee! ;)

cya after the holidays! :)

Very nice welcome poem, Gracie. Having been a snowbirds for a while, love the welcome mat from our neighbors when we return. Though they gave me hard time in jest like crowding out all facilities, etc. Now that we are a Froggie, we do miss the snowbirds and looking forward to their return. The group is not the same without them. Now I realize they missed us sincerely. There are longer lines but we can wait. Patience is a virtue. Carry an I-Pad and read some good books while you wait.

Nice Gracie! I love when all my friends return...I missed them!

Very nice poem, Gracie. I can't wait to experience the snowbird effect in TV. :smiley:

We are still visiting our Northern friends and grandchildren but you are very insightful in your observations of the snowbird/snowflak model that helps make TV a great place to "nest". I think most residents agree with your insight on this subject.

A very nice poem----what talent you have and others have here in TV. How nice to hear positive remarks regarding TV'S snowbirds.

Nice Poem!

The traffic is awful
The Restaurants are full
You can tell that the birdies are back
