Ode To Maine

ODE TO MAINE Last winter was a long one Before starting to get better Seemed like we would never shed Our heavy coats and sweater But at last, spring did arrive But the cold winds did not go Instead of getting warmer We just got more snow We suffered through a chilly spring Waiting for the trees to bud And finally the snow was gone But in its place was mud Now at last, it seems to me That winter has moved on Now I can enjoy myself After I mow the lawn
