Spring has sprung in Texas. The weather is mild, the wildflowers are blooming…. and the scorching hot weather of the summer is just around the corner.
Jodi Egerton with Typewriter Rodeo clicked out this spring poem on her vintage typewriter:
SPRING
Ohsweetglorious Texas spring
Pleasant days and nights
For three whole days we bask in you
But… what’s that firey ball of light?*!
The mercury shoots straight on up
Our skin begins to burn
For Texas spring lasts only days,
Oh will we never learn?
Enjoy the wildflowers when they bloom
For soon they will be toast
Sweet Texas spring, at 103
All greenery does roast…
