Nature's Joke

NATURE’S JOKE what’s going on here mid march and eighty degrees? laughter in the breeze sun in Michigan houses with windows open?’ laugh now cry later golfers out early courses are brown but busy look north funnel cloud beer sales up gas too you’d never know it’s hard times dig a deeper hole

Yes, an unusual year that we have had..Maybe we are not going to be surprised by a sudden cold snap..Enjoyed reading your creative work this morn..Glad that you got some thought from my Jellyfish work..Sara

Good morning Daver, here in Texas, nature has been a joke.. Some like this cold season we are still having...I don't! Our cold days are only always found at the ends of December through the beginning of January. It is March, we are waking up to an every other day cold day. What is going on???? It's suppose to be in the high 90's by now... You've heard about out Texas hot crazy season.. Maybe nature want the joke to be on us this year.. great poem,,, have a nice one..pd

Hard times are more bearable with a beer in hand, I suppose? If one doesn't drink, they can water the greens with it.:) Nature must be one of the biggest jokesters, she can certainly be fickle and capricious. This one's a thinker, Daver! Best wishes, love, Mikki
