Two Days of Snow (2/30)
April 4, 2018

Two days of snow in April
is not what you’d expect.
It’s true it’s Minnesota
but even we are allowed to have spring.
Two-times-ten degrees colder
than what we were expecting.
Yes, it’s Minnesota,
but even we are allowed to have spring.
One optimistic robin singing in the snow
is one more than I expected.
Hope sits in a tree in Minnesota.
I’m convinced we will have spring.

My girl says mrrrr
just because I look at her.
She’s my Little Ducky.
I feel so lucky.
My girl says mrow
when she wants attention now.
She’s my Jammy-Cat,
the boss, and that is that.
My girl is quiet
and she doesn’t deny it.
She’s my Squeaky,
just keeping it low-key with me.
