Mother Nature revealed her warm bosom today
Giving us a little peep show teaser in mid-March
Her sun shown brightly at a lovely 73 degrees
Was enough to remind me that drinking ice-cold beer
In this Ohio valley is much better in the temperate months

Then on my drive home I noticed her darker side
Lurking in the shadows of parking lots and thoroughfare gutters
In the form of dirty black ugly snow left over from one of
Her previous wraths just a few weeks ago, and I thought to myself,
'Can't fool me woman, I know your games of malevolent temptation'�'�

Then I had another thought, and I sat down, cracked open that beer
And typed the first poem
That I have written in several months
Before the words escaped me
Once again
