It’s time to bag
Left over long underwear
Undershirt and sweater layers
Shed it all like snakeskin
Peel yourself right down
To that hungry pale skin
Perhaps get bronzed right away
If the balmy weather stays
The sun hanging out longer to play
On these early warm spring days
The birds already singing their second act
And all the buds’ hearts bloomed out
It’s a toasty early spring with winter in the rearview
And sightings say summer is closer than it appears
