The weatherman's announcement: "Hey,
It's gonna be a schmutzy day!
With howling winds and rain in sheets,
It won't be fun on city streets.
This news report just wouldn't fly
In other places; this is why -
I live in New York's melting pot
Where Yiddish words are used a lot
And "schmutzy" is a word we'd use.
(It's not restricted to the Jews.)
To all of you across the nation
Who may need this in translation -
Schmutzy days you take in stride
If you can snuggle up inside.
