Letter To The Editor (Looking For Spring)

We are beginning to hear the sounds of spring.

Not that it is almost here, but we do have a yearning

for it.

Here in Texas a few cold days is enough. How they

manage it in the North is beyond me. One big chill

is enough for me. Surely before spring does arrive

we will have a few more cold days.

 

The groundhog said so when he saw his shadow,

and the weathermen tell us the same. This is not

the time to put up the sweaters or the coats as

they will come in handy before we know it.

 

Here comes both Mardi Gras and Valentine’s Day.

The year will fly by if we don’t get a grip on it.

 

Spring will be here soon enough and then we

know what comes after that. A long hot summer.

I can wait.

 

“Spring time blues-

But first we must pay all of our winter dues.”
