A Bizarre Reversal of Seasons
Instead of fluffy snow, it's steady rain;
cherry trees have blossomed in Brooklyn,
so did the tulips along Sheepshead bay...
even New Jersey has seen Nature in play!
Unlikely last year when all was white, this Christmas
won't have any snow to make everything bright;
children's eyes will sadly gaze from adorned windows
and wish for millions of snowflakes near midnight!
And there is a greater fear that disappointment may linger:
might Santa decline all requests and dash their hopes;
Santa comes from a very cold place and warm wheather
scares him, afraid to ride his sleight on those snowless slopes!
The Northwest is being hit by heavy snow for several days,
what a thrill for those kids riding their sleights and having much fun;
the Northeast is experiencing a bizarre reversal of seasons...
and that makes every kid very sad without snow: wouldn't Peter Pan?
