The dead of winter is dreary
A time to be sad and weary
But spring is soon to arrive
When the earth comes alive
And I’ll be happy and cheery.

I don’t like winter! I’ve often said I wish I could be like a bear and hibernate until spring. Now that the equinox is less than a week away, I’m doing a happy dance.
The limerick challenge sounded like a lot of fun, and after a couple of friends encouraged me, I decided to give it a try. I'm not a poet and this is my first attempt at writing limericks. I wrote four, two of which are reflective while the other two are a bit humorous.

Disarmament
They say there's no atheism in the foxhole. While I wasn't currently neck-deep in a river of soft sediment, I was still praying to whoever would listen. Why am I doing this again? I would ponder while staring at the device that in no less than a minute could be my undoing. I scanned each and every variable panel and commonplace button as I watched the bright red L.E.D ticker countdown. No wires to cut, no code to put in, there was only one way to stop this infernal machine, and that incurred perfect timing.

Makes you want spring to stay around a little longer. That blooming tree is simply beautiful.
Lovely, Joan! Oh the joys of early spring! 💕🙂
That captured my feelings exactly!
I think a LOT of folks can relate to this one. Happy spring or almost spring, everyone!
A happy dance for sure!! My tulips are coming up, and you'd think I found gold. 😄
Spring is the best. Good one, Joan.
Yes! Can't wait :)
Love this, Joan!
Love this! I'm a winter doldrums person, too. Can't wait for spring!
