Tourney Weather

red buds are blooming
song birds are swooning 
tonight, on the weather
they say it will snow

cardinal's crooning
mushrooms are mooning
temperatures dropping
the wind's going to blow

spring in the south is
the craziest season
winter's reluctant
not ready to go

eighties and twenties
within the same weekend
surprising nobody
people here know

the bread and the milk
are a different matter
those disappear like
a bolt from a bow

in just a few days
not a bit of this matters
March madness is coming
the tourney's the show

when your alma mater
is still on the ladder
if twister is twisting
or rising floods flow

your roof could blow off or
hell could freeze over
you're breathless, oblivious
abask in the glow
