The Weather is Funny (140 words)
then freezing at night.
Yesterday’s snowman
melted to runny.
It’s sleeting a rainbow.
This weather is funny!
A robin regrets
returning so soon.
The black bear decides
to sleep until June.
I try to go fishing,
the water looks nice.
But I cast so slowly—
my hook's stuck in ice.
I wear thirty layers
to start off the day…
I’m baking at recess
too sweaty to play.
My lemonade stand
on a warm afternoon
becomes frozen slushies
to eat with a spoon.
All of these changes
are making me twitch.
Is somebody pushing
the temperature switch?
I’m plowing a path,
but snow hasn’t fallen.
My shovel is scooping
a blizzard of pollen!
Uh oh—summer is coming!
