Damn sniffles and a sudden sneeze
Caught perhaps from icy breeze
Which holds us firmly in its grasp;
But surely, Spring has come at last?
Zingy ginger in my tea
And lemon for vitamin
C!
A second cardigan is wise
To warm me under sullen skies!
I need a scarf when I go out
A hassle I could do without;
This change of hour and lack of sleep
Combine to make my Muse less sweet!
But Easter looms - my wishes go
To all ‘out there’ who read my flow
Of thoughts, reflections, points of view…
It cheers me up to write for you!
