Whether Your Weather

Whether your weather
Is chilly or hot,
Most people get used to
The climate they’ve got.

If heat is your thing,
Be it humid or dry,
You don’t mind the schvitzing,*
Though I don’t know why.

But if you like winter,
With sleet, ice and snow,
You couldn’t care less
If it’s seven below.

I guess there are some
Who may move out of state
If they live where the weather
Is something they hate.

For those with four seasons,
We get to complain
Only part of the year
When the temps are a pain

Which for me, means the summer 
And days like today 
When I hope Mother Nature
Will lure them away.

thanks for the smiles Ilene, i love the 4 seasons we get on the island but april showers have dominated late may and June and played havoc with the TT races! They even cancelled senior race day yesterday as it was too windy and unsafe for the bikes especially on the mountain section of the course! Happy weekend:-) hugs Jan xx

Ha, ha. I thought that New York, much like Chicago and L.A., has only two seasons: Winter and Construction. ~ gw

We had all four seasons in Montana. 1 month of spring, one month of summer, one month of fall and 9 months of winter.
