MARCH 2018 -- Spring Has Been Delayed




Our spring has been delayed this year,
That’s what the newsman said.
It seems the sun has lost its shine,
It’s staying home in bed.
With all that wintry snow and ice
It’s caught a nasty chill
It fears that if it ventures out
Its wattage might be nil.
A physicist has been sent in
To see what he can do.
He thinks a shot of hydrogen
Will fix things good as new.
A rocket ship filled to the top
Is launched with blazing speed.
Stay still, dear sun, don’t move an inch.
This cure is what you need.
Shot rocket flies across the void,
Aimed for a sweet sun spot.
The sun looks pale, but doesn’t move . . .
And the shot hits on the dot.
Spring has finally sprung this year,
The sun’s no longer sick.
He’s glowing like a super star—
That gas sure did the trick.
