Edge of a Snowstorm

Mother Nature, can you make up your mind? First the meteorologist said we’d be getting a big snowstorm on Tuesday. Then it said it will miss us. Now we are on the edge of a storm that is headed south of us that may or may not reach Maine. Mother Nature, it is February. We need snow! As nice as the 60ºF weather was this weekend, we want a good old fashion Maine snowstorm! As usual Asa is expressing his emotions via a song parody. This time around he is parodying the Bon Jovi song, “Edge of a Broken Heart.” Mother Nature, if you send us snow, I promise Asa won’t bother you anymore with this overly dramatic song!

And there I stood just like a snowman
It was cold, but with a warm sun
I scanned the sky searching for some flakes
Hey Mother Nature, whatchya doin’ with my snow?
Where is it snowing now? Mine melts as my heart breaks
I want snow here
Now you can believe it
I’ll be there to catch snow when it falls

Hoooooowl!
Here I am (on the edge of a snowstorm)
I’m a dog (on the edge of a snowstorm)
Here I stand (on the edge of a snowstorm)
So snow if you can ’cause you know
I’m a dog on the edge (on the edge of a snowstorm)
I’m on the edge (on the edge of a snowstorm)

I’m on the inside, looking wild-eyed
The weather map says, I’m on the wrong side now
Do you still think of Maine?
Al Roker has the wrong answers
Two inches snow, now that’s just slander
The map goes dim, as the snow totals start to fade
I’m the one who needs snow
Now! Not Massachusetts
I’ll be there to catch snow when it falls

You better believe I’m a dog (on the edge of a snowstorm)
Here I am (on the edge of a snowstorm)
And I stand (on the edge of a snowstorm)
So snow if you can ’cause you know
I’m a dog on the edge (on the edge of a snowstorm)
I’m on the edge (on the edge of a snowstorm)

And when I look to the sky
I’ll be begging for flakes
Please give me all that you’ve got
That’s all that I want
When you’re sending the snow
I’ll be waiting for it

Hoooooowl!
On the edge of a snowstorm (on the edge of a snowstorm)
Only want snow (on the edge of a snowstorm)

Update: As of Monday morning, the meteorologist still can’t say for certain if we’ll get snow because one tool say we’ll get some, and another weather model says it will completely miss us. So this leaves me with no choice. Mother Nature if you don’t send us snow, Asa is going to write another “Edge of a Broken Heart” parody. This time to Vixen’s version, and yes, he WILL sing it in falsetto! The choice is now up to you!
