SIGNS IT “AIN’T SUMMER” ANYMORE
It was nearly December by calendar day,
The duck pond was missing the water fountain spray…
Nearly all warmly dressed
No figure expressed,
Me-thought winter was going to stay.
–
And then, a Chinook’s warming breeze,
Fooled everyone, opened buds on trees…
Folks lounged around in light jackets
With MP-3 rackets,
Until a sudden cold snap brought all to their knees!
–
So folks, as it were, were caught with “pants down,”
Shivering as they warmed up and trees turned brown…
The moral of the story
Isn’t always with glory,
Winter’s a tricky monkey, if you let your guard down!
