DOWN
WITH WINTER!
I've felt so
long old frigid
winter's breath,
I've come to
look on him with
great disdain.
I eagerly await
his pending
death
So I can see
azaleas bloom
again.
I yearn for
tepid breeze and
gentle rain;
I wish the snow
would melt and
roll away.
I crave the
warming of a
sunny day
When
mockingbirds and
robins gaily
sing.
I want to watch
the squirrels run
and play.
I'm tired of
cold -- I much
prefer the
spring!
