Does March Ever Quit

Does March ever quit to be the wildest month? Isn't its fury a serious threat to the crows who munch on anything, they can find? We bundle up not to catch a cold, saving a trip to the doctor's office is so smart; Grandma always said, " To keep warm: wear your woolen scarf, gloves, and hat!" I listened to her warning as a good kid should; can granny's advice misinform? It's time for the shovels to come out of the storage room, I'm the first to grab one; every morning I shoveled snow that was two feet while the frightened neighbors watched me from inside their frosted windows; I screamed at them saying," Come out and join me, more snow is to come! " But no, they stayed inside enjoying my show! Do winds blow harder on freezing days in January... scattering the flocculent snow anywhere they can? Which one is the fiercest month: February? They all are winter's bad omen to spread doom, making us dream about the flowers in bloom; isn't this harsh punishment more than a ban? Does March ever quit it's a dramatic play of self-rage and insanity; who would challenge it and halt at once the spiteful winds of frenzy? l
