It's January

IT'S JANUARY:

We should be tromping in the snow.

Instead we're basking in sunshine's glow.

We should be skiing down powdery slopes.

Instead we're hiking by the water ditch flow.

We should be bundled in warm winter coats.

Instead we're in shirtsleeves, wearing our shorts.

We should be in snow boots all set in a row.

Instead you're seeing flip-flop toes.

We should be gasping at misty rainbows.

Instead there's just a random cloud, wispy and low.

The yard should be done, the end of all growth.

Instead here I am, out there with the hoe.

We should be 4-wheelin' with chains in tow.

Instead the top's down as road trippin' we go.

The deer should be scraping for food, buck & doe.

Instead they're just grazing, all nice & slow.

We should hear Justin saying "all schools are closed".

Instead the kids are going in their summer clothes.

Our planes should be grounded, dear me such woe.

Instead, easy flying, all things nice & stowed.

We should be hearing blizzards & winter winds blow.

But windows are open, sweet breeze blowing through.

We should be all cuddled, fire warm & close.

Instead, pilot's off & the heat set to 'no'.

I'm not complainin'... I'm just sayin'...

IT'S JANUARY!
