The Winter Blahs

They creep up to you in the middle
of a cold, dark and bleak winter day
when sunshine is scarce as pizza in a famine
 or as a rare occurrence of winter jasmine.

Oh man, you've got the winter blahs.

You and your honey are bundled up for a walk,
King Kong and Lady Big Foot holding mittened hands,
trying to recapture some winter romance
as each of you do an icy two-step dance.

Oh man, you've got the winter blahs.

Lethargy takes over as the cold continues,
television is boring and jokes are stale,
reading a novel requires more time
as you dream of living in a warmer clime.

Oh man, you've got the winter blahs.

Your retired parents send a postcard of
an exotic resort showing miles of beaches,
"Wish you were here, join us for lunch."
Only if you send a ticket----thanks a bunch!

Oh man, you've got the winter blahs.

Days are getting longer, breakup is here,
the snow is slushier as the temperature climbs,
you wake up from hibernation and see more sunshine,
with a smile on your face you know the winter
blahs are on decline.
