Old Man Winter is officially dead
I just checked his pulse and didn’t find one
Fall never stopped falling killing Winter
seasons have learned to fall up
and who needs to go to Florida for Spring Break
when Disney World comes to you
and Mickey is dressed in a plutonium suit
and Pluto has been mutated to look like a melting iceberg
and Titanic is seen as ancient comic irony
for how could such a mighty ship get wrecked by something as fictional as an iceberg?
We’re coming up to the hundred year anniversary of the sinking of the Titanic
it is so sad
if they’d just waited to launch a couple hundred years
they never would have run into the iceberg.

With global warming, we probably won’t have to wait another hundred years to see NO iceberg floes in the North Atlantic! All my May and early June flowers and shrubs and trees are blooming NOW in NW AL! What winter? We had exactly ONE single night of below 20 degrees Fahrenheit this year!
It has been the warmest most beautiful March on record up here in Toronto, and today I was in shorts and a t-shirt IN MARCH! It’s wonderful, but it’s hard to enjoy weather that feels like the national debt. Sure, we’ll borrow on top of borrowing, but one day, we’re all going to have to pay for this.
Oh, those last two lines. The irony!!! Another great poem, Peter.
Thank you, Betty! Comedy is tragedy plus time. I grew up singing camp songs about the wreck of the Titanic. I guess 100 years is enough so that we are not singing: Too Soon! when we hear such horror.
