April Showers
"April showers bring May flowers"
or so you want me to remember.
I may have had green grass
in the middle of November,
it is a fact that you have seen,
but as I look outside my window
April here is still hiding
under several feet of snow!
So now, what's that you're telling me...
it's raining there you say?
It just means that your golf course
will be too wet for you to play!
And did you say you're planting
spring bulbs to bloom in May?
Well I can still go skiing!
So now what do you say?
So go ahead, enjoy your spring
ahead of me, but I don't mind.
Mine will come eventually,
and when it does I know you'll find
that you are into summer then
and you'll find another joke
but that's what makes this friendship
... all the fun you love to poke!
