Some Sanity, Please (March 6, 2016)

Dear Powers To Be;

Am writing this

In protest

Over this winter's

Weather.

Is it

Asking too much

From You

For consistency?

Am

So sick and tired

Of feeling like

A ping pong ball

Being bounced

All over the place.

Never knowing

If I should

Be dressing up

In multiple layers

For the coldest day

Of winter.

Or

Breaking out

From storage

My Summer clothes

And sunscreen lotion

With a SPF of 1000

For my body.

A heavy sigh

Escapes

As I wonder.

Will we get

Any Spring

This year.

Or

Go straight away

Into

A long hot Summer.

With little

To no relief

From the needed

Spring showers.

I hope not.

Author's note: We were told, this year's winter, would be, an El Nino, never expecting an Artic Vortex that would be our guest, for February. As the weather bounced around. In one week, the temperatures jumped, from 14.8 C to -20something C, as the city of Toronto Public Health, declared an extreme cold warning, for the following 2 days. This is extreme, even for Canada.
