Jack Ellison Poet Quatrain

Another Canadian Winter

A down day I'm having
They are certainly rare
No real reason
Not too happy I declare

Just one of those days
The approach of the cold
Just another winter
Could be I suppose

Each year around this time
I'm afflicted by this
The on-come of winter
The warmth I will miss

I'm aware of the seasons
Three are okay
The fourth old man winter
Wish it would go away

Sure must be speaking
For most of us Canucks
Maybe this year will be mild
Hope with some luck

Who am I kidding
It's in Canada I reside
Mild pertains to cheddar
Not the temperature outside
