It's Beginning To Look A Lot Like Christmas


We were warned.
It was coming,
even though
 the temps had warmed.
And thus, a legitimate reason 
to be further scorned.


Still, some scoffed at the forecast
 on the six o'clock news, the night before, 
declaring a spring debut of 2 to 4 inches,
 along with freezing rain.


Guess it was just a tad too much 
for the human brain
to tolerate yet another sprinkling 
of the cold, white stuff.
It was spring, after all -
we'd had more than enough!


As I recount this little tale of unwelcome snow,
The flurries floating outside the living room window,


will sooner or later, fall to the ground,
forming fluffy, puffy pillows
to muffle, mute and baffle
spring's sweet and chirpy sounds!


Forget the chocolate Easter bunnies.
Any candy canes in the cupboard?
