Needing new definitions

     for lions and lambs...

In Toronto, our recent weeks
Have continued to show us
Grey days with
Record snowfalls 
Where even our sunny days
Were coated with slippery ice.
And the weather prognosticators
Are telling us
There’s more to come.

Thank goodness
Kate takes glorious walks
In Oakland
To remind us that
Spring’s olours 
Are sure to return
And explode all around us.
Remember???

In the meantime,
I’ll have another
Cup of hot chocolate…
Maybe laced with
A bit of Kahlúa…
And be ready with my own
Hooray!
For Spring...
Whenever
She decides to arrive.
...
If this isn't nice, what is?
