Till Spring Reappears
Even Jester Jack has his down days
This just happens to be one
Can't find a reason for my mood today
Perhaps winter is better than none
I'm Canadian, I should be used to it
But as I get older I find
Winters are a lot more difficult to endure
Seems the sun will never again shine
That's what life's like in the frozen north
Should be used to it after 79 years
Though we live in balmy Southern Ontario
Won't rejoice till the snow disappears
Suck it up princess, I heard someone say
We all have our crosses to bear
Of course you're right, spring's almost here
Been an extra long winter I swear
I hear what you're saying, I must be hardy
But living here brings on the tears
As I've gotten older it's a whole lot harder
So I hibernate till spring reappears
