I sure do look forward to summer coming...

The snow sneaks away in secret
A little at a time
Like it knows it shouldn’t be here
It’s guilty of some crime

I saw some green sprouts showing
Little promises of spring
I saw a robin on my back deck
So perfect he did sing

A little boy with his winter parka open
Splashed in a puddles park
Sun warmed days of wonder
When life is but a lark

I sipped a cup of coffee
Pleased with this world of mine
Then I heard the weather forecast
I didn’t feel so fine

“A cold front from the north
Is sweeping down tonight
Expect at least a foot of snow
You heard it you are right

So keep your shovels handy
Keep the blankets close at hand
Temperatures will drop below freezing
It said, I hope you understand”

So I went back in and sat down
In my old easy chair
Added a splash of whiskey to my Java
It only seemed to be fair

I’ll cuddle neath a blanket
Watch MASH reruns one more time
Go back into hibernation
Until it’s truly summer time.
