A Worn Out Welcome

by Greg Asimakoupoulos

Posted: March 2, 2014

Old Man Winter's stayed too long…

This houseguest's over-stayed his welcome.
It's time for him to go.
Yes, Old Man Winter's stayed too long.
We hate his cold and snow.

It feels just like Siberia.
The lakes and rivers freeze.
His rude behavior at our place
has brought us to our knees.

We're praying he will pack his bags
and leave our home at last.
We're sick and tired being held
within his frigid grasp.
