Excellent It's the first of April and in Alaska, snow is everywhere What Happened to Spring? by T B Botts Humorous Rhyming Poem contest entry Artwork by avmurray at FanArtReview.com

What happened to spring There's snow everywhere I speak to my friends They really don't care They live in the South They're out in the sun I'm up here in the North I'm not having fun There's snow on the branches There's snow on the ground I look to the skies Where snow clouds abound Will spring ever come Will I ever be warm While they're outside playing I'm stuck in the dorm The birds are all shivering Outside with their down I'm under a quilt I feel like a clown One day we'll see springtime The trees will be green And I'll be all smiles The biggest you've seen By then friends will be roasting They'll be awfully hot While they complain of the heat I'll enjoy my cool lot I know spring is coming But it's sure taking it's time Once it's arrived though It will be surely sublime Author Notes Winters in Alaska seem to last forever sometimes. My friends in the lower 48 have flowers blooming while the lakes here are covered with ice fishing shacks. When spring comes, it will happen all of a sudden, but in the meantime, I'm tired of waiting.
