SPRING DON'T TAKE NO FOR AN ANSWER
SPRING DON'T TAKE NO FOR AN ANSWER
"Ok..!" shouted Spring
"I know y'are in there..!"
Spring had the house
surrounded.
It had trees stationed
all about my abode
aiming their apple blossom
straight at me.
Already their perfume
had invaded the room.
I had turned into
THE INCREDIBLE SULK
sunk into
a blue funk
there was to be
no escape from.
Even my reflection wouldn't
look at me.
"OK..!' shouted Spring yet again
"...just look out your window....
surely you can see you
don't stand a chance!"
I couldn't help my self
I gave a panicked glance.
Platoons of daffodils
waiting to charge the house
yelling in yellow.
"Ok fella...this is your last chance
I'm going count to then...."
"Alright....alright...it's a fair cop
I'll come quietly!"
I kicked open the door
hands held above my head.
The trees had me
cornered.
The sunlight had me
blinded.
Happiness...sheer ******...happiness
grabbed me by the heart.
"Ok kid...easy now...easy!"
Spring soothed me
"Everything's gonna be ok...
...Ok?"
I sobbed on its shoulder
threw my despair away.
