The snow capped trees are drooping from the weight
Of crystal ice and snow I’ve come to hate
A little taste of beauty is enough
I’ve had it with this fluffy, flaky stuff!
The skiers are elated as they glide
While I am irritated as I slide
Around a yard that’s now a skating rink
And so I close my eyes and calmly think
Of daffodils all lined up in a row
Beneath the several feet of ice and snow
I see the hollyhocks all standing tall
And creepy crawling vines along the wall
Excuse my manners here for just a bit
It’s time for Spring! I’ve had it with this shit!

Your reference to skiers brought back a lot of memories of my days in the mountains of Colorado. Up there, we called them the “FBI”… Flat Board Idiots! We had to deal with snow up to our ass in our efforts to navigate from point A to point B, and they’re doing it for fun! Go figure… I agree with you, right now 95 degrees with 90% humidity doesn’t sound too bad.
Thanks for setting the record straight!
You’re welcome! π Sounds good to me too.

Shirley, I agree 1000%. The older I get the longer winter seems to hang on.
Isn’t that the truth! This has certainly been a long one! Thanks, Dan.

Thank you, Composer. I think being a college student probably makes you more intelligent than I am already! What I would give to be a college student! Cheer up, Spring is just around the corner.
