If Only I Could Hibernate

I could hibernate

With daffodils and hyacinths and tulips on their way
|~~And pretty blue forget-me-nots in gentle breeze shall dance and sway~~|
|~~~~~The sun she rises higher in the cloudless bluest sky~~~~~|
|~~~Great feelings of expectation with every passing day~~~|
If only I could hibernate just like my tortoise Alfred the Great
For Alfie has the best idea snuggling down this time of year
Tummy full and time to sleep no winter chills or seasonal ills
** As I awaken to spring sunshine when all around is sparkling **
***Birdsong t’will infuse the air***
There will be green shoots everywhere
Melodious love songs birds shall sing
to celebrate first day of spring
So now as I retire to bed
snuggling ‘neath my duvet
Time for me to hibernate
and sleep until that special date
When sunshine takes the chill away
I’ll open my eyes shouting hip hip hurray
‘tis time for me to celebrate my happy springtime birthday date
