Springtime?

Here we are this Monday evening

In the midst of winter weather

What’s this talk of global warming

We ask quizaccilly

As we sit in oncoming gloom

Darkness fills each room

Candle lit dinner

May have been romantic

A few days ago

But right now

As one voice _ no, no, no

Listen, the rumble of thunder

Rain, beating against window pane

Only thing this is good for

It cobbled together a poetic refrain.
