Send Us Spring, STAT!
I’m so sick of this snowy New York winter. And of all the fretful phone calls from my mother-in-law, warning hubby Mark about snow shoveling and heart attacks. Funny, she isn’t at all concerned about my heart.
That brings me to my latest limerick:
Send Us Spring, STAT!
By Madeleine Begun Kane
I’m achy from head down to toe.
The cause? I’ve been shoveling snow.
I wanted to punt,
But instead, did our front,
While my spouse did the rest — quid pro quo.

I’d be remiss if I didn’t mention the one up side of February which is coming up very soon: Valentines Day. And so happy Valentines day, especially to you fellows who may find this Valentines Day column helpful. Gals, you can thank me later.

Another nice limerick, MK. You set such a high standard.
Thanks, Nate!
Oh, that mother-in-law; funny!
But, seriously, I do hope the weather is warmer for you soon.
Thanks, Joyce!
It started with two feet of snow
And temps that hit thirty below
In a 40 mile gale –
My tolerance failed
I went where the sun is aglow.
I need to go somewhere myself, Realist. :)
