Signposts Along The River

The geese are nesting late this year,

I haven’t seen any goslings yet,

Snow is still piled in the high country,

 Deep as the national debt.

Pulled the snow tires off my rig last week,

Calves are branded, so it must be May.

Stopped a minute at the corner store,

Bought a card for Mothers Day.

Nature seems a tad behind,

Or maybe the calendar is out of tune.

But unless we get a warm spell quick,

There’ll be some surplus water come June!
