Spring in Saint John's

Where I come from, Spring is so elusive;                                                                                                                 Snow, fog, drizzle persist for frequent weeks.                                                                                                                           So, when it comes, it boosts the will to live!                                                                                                            Forget the cold temps, mild temps do we seek!                                                                                                            Spring often arrives in June; it’s no joke.                                                                                                                   People who visit here don’t believe it.                                                                                                                          Here, we keep good humor; we’re sturdy folk:                                                                                                           “Is it nice outside? Hell no! It’s not fit!”                                                                                                                   Whether it’s drizzle or thundershower,                                                                                                              cloudburst, deluge, freezing fog or sprinkle,                                                                                                                  the wetness might persist countless hours;                                                                                                                      but we keep perspective; eyes still twinkle.
  
Such priviledge to live here; we’re lucky.                                                                                                                        The storm outside? Never mind. It’s ducky!
