Ode to Spring Unexpected

Evanston RoundTable, Feb. 23, 2017

O to feel the sun beam down

And bestow on us its warming rays

When usually we wear a frown

That school is closed for more snow days.

Spring in February, such a gift,

It’s like Christmas in July.

Too bad a few are deeply miffed:

Global warning this implies.

Nonetheless, it’s fine to watch

Folks strolling in their shorts and Ts.

Let’s hoist a beer or maybe scotch

‘Cause it’s 70 when it should be 3!
