Searching For Summer

Nasty old winter is getting me down I'm looking for summer all over town I lift up a blanket of snow off the ground Sadly there is no green grass to be found My very next stop I'll go down to the beach With waves and sand summer may be in reach The lake is solid like a piece of glass No sign of summer I'm freezing my ass Summer summer reveal yourself to me Sun warm my face place leaves on a tree Hey wait a minute is that a red Rose? I pick it up, place it under my nose I'm so sad to say, the rose isn't real You can imagine how sad I now feel My search is over I know when I'm licked As I head home I'm feeling real ticked I see a young woman walking my way Wearing a bikini on this cold day A glimpse of summer my heart starts to race I'm confused, yet there's a smile on my face Searching for Summer contest By Richard Lamoureux March 14, 2013

"The lake is solid like a piece of glass / No sign of summer I'm freezing my ass" - As a fellow Canadian, I SO understand that feeling! haha. You rocked this one, my friend. Your humour gets me everytime!

Oh Richard....how cute! ;) You should be in Beirut right now. I'm in short sleeves with the door of my living room flung open...the sunlight is steaming in. Spring is doing a jig...and later...I'm going power walking! Canada is really TOO cold! My brother did his Ph.D in Calgary and married a Canadian...Let's just say...she doesn't want to go back home, but loves it here! Come visit! ;)

I am Jealous! Mind you I just got home from Mexico so I guess I can't really complain. Where I live is considered Desert, the hot spot of canada. Google Kelowna/ Okanagan it is really a four season playground here.
