You are 3 days into

Your sandal wearing

And you’ve just

Done your toenails

The last thing you want

To hear is that

Snow is expected

This weekend.

 

This weekend!

When it’s almost May

And Mother’s Day is around the corner

A cold front is coming!

Across from Canada

And it should be very wet

And cold with snow.

The temperature will drop

In the next few days.

 

What would you do?

Resolutely wear sandals

Or dig the boots out from

The back of your closet —

It can’t last forever, right?

It probably won’t even last a day, right?

I fleer at the forecast.

Sandals on the feet,

Socks in the purse,

Emergency back up plan.
