Flowers In Spring

The cheerful freesias peep
Out of the cold wet soil
And share their fruitful fragrance
With lovers of the moon.

Spring is already with us
Mimosas form their blooms
We celebrate Women's Day
And sprays will abound I'm sure.

Oh everyone is happy
Except our poor Josefa
Who works in snowbound Snowbird Utah
And yearn for our new spring blooms.

But dear Jo, how I do wish,
That Spring has never come
For already I'm sneezing
Spring fever is around.

Yes, Spring is near. Even though flowers make you sneeze, they certainly make a beautiful bouquet. Your thoughts bring a smile. :) Brandy

This made me smile. "Oh everyone is happy Except our poor Josefa Who works in snowbound Snowbird Utah And yearn for our new spring blooms." Poor Josefa!

The opening line and its verse - cheerful freesias, fruitful fragrance, lovers of the moon and then the dastardly clincher of a sneeze. Well done, my friend!
