February farewell

Good-bye valentine assembly line,

 Hello Kitty pajama days,

and tricycle snow-plow.

 See you later cardboard Empire State Building, 

 and Birkie babe.

Onward to March!

ode to winter

Oh winter days....

How very long and busy (for some!) you are! 

Outside things migrate inside as we weave our way through cold and sanity.

Vitamins get creative, in an effort to balance us out,

although 'tis the season for the unbalanced. 

 We hammer away on hope for warmer days,

perform our best, despite our age or gender, 

and when in doubt, double up.
