Munday on Monday: Spring haiku

Temperature perplexed:

Hot one day, then cold the next.

Is this season hexed?

Squirrels salivate

As you plant tomatoes — wait!

Ravaged crop, their fate.

Winter now recedes;

Yellow blossoms in stampedes!

Curse it, though — they’re weeds.

Thundercloud now struts;

Weathercasters all go nuts.

Rains cause such a fuss!

See the mower scoff!

Yanks your shoulder almost off;

All it does is cough.

Equinox is past;

Balmy days will come at last.

Let’s dismiss the class!
