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
Newfoundland is the most beautiful island there is - but it's COLD.
