From Green To White To Green

From green to white to green What a crazy mixed up scene The weatherman's all confused Methinks he's into the booze If he starts a-guzzling gin Most likely I'll be joining him Of all my years here on earth This kinda stuff is really the worst So bring on the ice and snow I'm Canadian as you know As long as things go as planned Hiccups I can now and then stand But this year the weather gods Are surely not doing their jobs! © Jack Ellison 2014

We may be hearty but after 79 years it's enough! Used to spend a lot of time in Siesta Key, Fla! Those were the days, my friend!

For 2 days we had tons of rain... Thank goodness it wasn't snow... We'd be up to our eyeballs in it or up to Dragons' belly button... LOL... It's in the upper 30's today... So no freezing like before the rain... St. Louis weather is always flopping around from one thing to another... Especially, well... always... Our motto is... If you don't like the weather, then wait 5 minutes! Dragon says Hi! And Grandpa Troll and the penguins, too. Busy aren't we! Hope you are, too.

That's about the weather as we've been getting! Southern Ontario weather is much like a good part of the U.S.! XXX

Well Jack as a fellow Canadian I like how snow looks, but would much rather see less of it. I enjoyed reading your poem though.
