Weathering Spring (Limerick)
Weathering Spring (Limerick)
By Madeleine Begun Kane
I wonder just what is the reason
Why spring’s such an ornery season.
First it’s cold, then it’s hot,
Then it’s icy, then not —
Makes me ask whether spring is just teasin’.
(Think Tank Thursday prompts us to wonder.)

I always wonder the exact same thing!
Oh, I hear you!!!
You’ve perfectly described our Sonora Desert weather, Mad; and that’s a feat since spring changeability is not our norm. We usually leap right into heat.
This is cute, Madeleine. Such brevity is welcome. It fits the weather here in Australia too, funnily enough.
Spring is as changable as the weather ;)
no more than winter did
all the snow was hid
much in the seventies
frolicking with levity
now in june, sleet might summer bid
ok i butchered that…crazy weather…
Mosty definitely LOL!
Hi Madeline
Love limmericks and I really relate to that one–only my limmerick would be hormonal menopausal…unfortunately not teasin’:-)
I wonder just what is the reason
why husbands are taken with treason,
they all take the stand
with bible in hand,
truth is boring, and lies are in season.
Thanks so much everyone for your delightful comments and verse!
I loved your take on the prompt!
Yes, you sure described the fickle passion of spring :D
Well Done
Thanks, Ella!
