Sleet

Though rain in the spring might be sweet, Something flowers and bushes all greet, In the winter what falls Is what hardly enthralls, But instead is that stuff known as sleet. It makes all the cars slip and slide And for people who venture outside, We get pelted with ice, Which is not very nice And we couldn’t walk fast if we tried. Without all the beauty of snow, And making our to and fro slow, Sleet just gets in the way And it spoils the day; How I wish it would get up and go!

Happily I drive my car only when I have to, and definitely not when it's sleeting as it was the other evening when I didn't go to a meeting and later learned it was cancelled. Loved the limericks. / M

:) You always make me laugh, Ilene. Your perspective on sleet must be shared by many. Very cute! Hugs, Carolyn

You have a new audience now that sleet has stormed down to 4,000' in Hawai'i for the first time in recorded history. How's that for a Valentine? Well done! Aloha! Rico
