Lost in Suburbia: Ode to Spring (with apologies to Edgar Allan Poe) Comment By Tracy Beckerman More Content Now DailyTidings.com By Tracy Beckerman More Content Now Posted Feb. 25, 2015 at 12:01 AM By Tracy Beckerman More Content Now Posted Feb. 25, 2015 at 12:01 AM » Social News Once upon a midnight dreary, from lack of sleep my eyes were bleary I watched the world outside turn white, Turn snowy white throughout the night … while my husband snored. “When is spring,” I asked of him while he sawed wood some more With eyes still closed he said one word, Quoth the husband, “nevermore.” The groundhog woke, we placed our bets… would the spring come early yet? The yard outside was frozen still But all our hopes now lay with Phil ... as we waited to be sure. Would the psychic rodent see his shadow on the floor? “Hate to bear bad news,” he said, But quoth the groundhog, “Six weeks more.” The kids are fighting, kicking, biting, tired of flourescent lighting We’re sun deprived, we hate TV. We thought we saw a bikini … in the department store. Could spring be knocking, knocking softly there upon my door? No, I think I merely dropped something on my hardwood floor The dog is looking dire now … He can’t go potty till they plow The car is buried under snow There is no place that we can go … till polar ice caps thaw. Did I see a wooly mammoth just walk by my bedroom door? Alas, I heard a bark and knew ‘tis frozen dog, and nothing more. I am, in fact, quite winter weary, ne’er has there been a year so dreary Elsa’s singing, “Let it go” But they’re predicting still more snow … at least for one month more. We’re looking for a sign to come that spring is tapping on our door. If Kim Kardashian wears a crop top It must be spring again for sure.
