Roaring Through March


Roaring Through March


Cast off that bulky winter coat of snow!
The time has come for such burdens to go.
Enough is enough, let's have spring begin.
Woodchucks ignore predictions by your kin.

Be it fair or be it covered with clouds,
Let's gather together in friendly crowds
And swap our tales of life shut up within;
Unbundle and unbutton – show some skin.

I have survived another frosty season
And escaped boredom with most my reason.
From mental hibernation, I return
And for next year's challenge I start to yearn.

You may have January as your year's start,
But I feel March a-beating in my heart.
Its rallying rhythms rouse from torpid
Those wintry moods that have grown so morbid.

There may yet remain a snowstorm or two,
A dozen inches to shovel my way through,
But, as before, my cheer increases daily --
Maybe I will learn the ukulele.
