Poem
Greetings from Canada dear readers ! Let me cajole you with a wee bit of fun and ardent banter. Well, obviously I am Canadian and we are very polite and charming people, we are sorry when we are guilty of nothing. We say please and thank you and your welcome often. It is drilled into us from childhood. You bump into us and lickety-split we will say sorry! It can all get quite absurd. Talking about absurd there is a real rigmarole going on with a groundhog, a rodent who predicts if we will get a long winter or a short winter. What kind of nincompoop believes in this gobbledygook. The story goes that if the rodent, excuse me, I mean groundhog sees his shadow we have six more weeks of winter. Now, being a fairly intelligent girl, I say in a forceful voice, balderdash! I could have predicted six more weeks of winter. Without getting cantankerous, it is bloody freezing outside! Apparently this pampered, Willie rodent saw his big fat shadow and it was declared. What a brouhaha that caused. Why did they not just ask me ? Oh, we may get a little melt, to tease us but the snow and cold will stick around to torment us, the wind will blow and the snow will fall. the bare branches wish for soft emerald green gowns- snowflakes swirl and twirl _______________________ February 4, 2018 Poetry/Haibun/A Bit Of Lofty Chit Chat Copyright Protected, ID 18-9895-87 All Rights Reserved.
