Inclement... a Limerick

Happy St. Patrick's Day!

Old Man Winter, he seems not to know

That by March, he really should go

For certain, I'd say,

By Saint Patrick's Day,

But our green this year's covered in snow...

[Rita L. Sev]

Thanks, Engluva! Winter was just too obstinate this year, and came back today with cold temps!

[Woody]

I hear you. same here in my part of the world. crazy weather!

[Fire Mage Andrea]

A good way to personalise the season of Winter
Well said about St Patricks Day, which is associated with the colour green

[Rita L. Sev]

Thank you, Andrea! Glad you enjoyed...

Great limerick...yes, the winter weather does not seem to want to leave this year. I just saw another blizzard is predicted for the midlantic states next week. Stay safe and warm, Rita....eventually the spring like weather will prevail. Lydi**

missed this one on Patty's Day Rita ... 90% of our parade days are brutalized with wind, freezing rain.. 10 feet of snow or something ... this one was a little better ... at least the sun shone ...no matter ... the painting of the green went down and the parade rolled on and the Irish hearts sang all day and into the night ... louder and merrier as the clock ticked :))

[Einstein Noodle]

Yes, winter just seems to hang on this year. Last March it was already summer here.

[Rita L. Sev]

And it looks like more cold temps and possible snow next week...

"Twill be greener than ever...just a bit late. A lovely ode to the season and the day Rita. Well done.
