Springtime Madness Poem by Kay Barcelon

Finally the dreadful winter is over
Springtime madness has begun
It’s the gateway to life’s new chapter
Time to sort out what was left undone

Get off the winters’ gloom and smile at spring
Under the spring sun you can’t get too much tan
You need that color to make your skin appear glowing
Get a nice porch swing and meet the new postman

Forgive the neighbor for his winter’s insolence
For shoveling the snow towards your driveway
Blowing winter leaves to your side of the fence
Or blocking your car on new year’s eve revelry

Spring is here, get that raise and buy new clothes
New shoes and purses to go with the new trends
Eat fresh foods instead of chilis or Mexican tacos
Attend to your garden while you tan on weekends

Waking up in a clean house makes you less frenzied
Clean out your closets and give some to those in need
Walk the dog and get some oxygen for your brain
Go out, enjoy the sun and please keep yourself sane
