The Winter Blues

I'm a summertime guy, that's what I like the best:
I love wearing my shorts and exposing my chest.
The warmth of the sun is beating on my back;
I listen to my playlist while enjoying my snack.
There's a view of the ocean as far as the eye can see,
And beautiful women winking at me.
I close my eyes as I feel the breeze;
All of a sudden, I begin to sneeze.
Instead of relaxing in Honolulu,
I'm laying in bed going, "Ah-ah-achooo!"
It was all a beautiful dream, I suppose;
I have a sore throat and a stuffy nose.
I caught a bad cold-- just my luck!
Until I feel better, I guess I'm stuck.
I look outside as the snow is falling;
Summer left too quickly and now I'm bawling.
I'm wishing and praying for really good news
Because there's no cure for the winter blues.

Duane, you really had me going there. Wintertime's pretty much the worst, except on the occasional nice winter's day. (I'm from Chicago, where summer's often no picnic either). Happy Monday! ~ Gershon

Greetings to you and everyone in Chi-town. I'm sorry for the late response, but I was a little busy. Anyway, I really appreciate that you like my poem. I can definitely relate to what you said about the weather. Thank you so much.
