Oh wintery blanket you’ve snuggled me so
Your stay over-welcomed, I wish you to go
It’s not that you were a most bothersome guest
No, but I hope you find elsewhere to rest
Wherever you dwell there is cold in amount
Inconveniences piled, too high to account
You’ve hampered the buds and the slight blades of grass
Shaken the birds with your chilled icy blasts
Smiled we have through this prolonged hibernation
Pining we are for a Spring celebration!
While you have lingered, reluctant to leave
Secret or not, we have longed for reprieve
Escorting you out with “it’s me, it’s not you - ”
With genuine fondness, we bid you adieu…
