Hullaballoo

From silent MUFFFS
of
falling
snow

The stillness
of
fifteen
below,

That clouds the Air
With frozen Breath
And freezes Hair
And threatens Death

A welcome CHAOS

comes with Spring
/ / // / / /// / /
Thundering rains
! !! !!!! !!! !!!!!!
and songbird sings
_____________
Deep-buried lawns
and dormant sleep
Replaced by mud
10 inches deep.

Children love the

mess ---

ee ---

nessss!!!!

Of mud ...

and

Gutter

floods,

But Mothers

Strip

Them

At the DOOR

To keep

The Chaos

off the Floor.
