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.
