I Met a Girl in Newfoundland

 

She was seated behind the courtesy desk

At the Costco in Saint John’s

All bundled up and shivering

On a drizzly morning in July

 

“Oh, it’s not that cold,” I laughed

“I’ve never been warm in my life,” she replied

“I’ve never been off this island

And I’ve never been warm in my life”

 

After a pause, I slunk away

To ponder my coldness that summer day
