Fickle March
For the "In Like A Lion, Out Like a Lamb - A Mikeydred March Dollar Prompt For All Vocal Creators"
Grab up the umbrella, let's take a walk!
In this? Don’t be daft, it’s raining like mad!
Of course it is, it’s March. What do you expect?
It’s muddy, it’s wet… you know I hate to get wet!
You’ll dry; that’s what towels are for!
But…
No buts! The air is crisp and ripe with the smell of earth!
Of green growing things that are ready to burst!
Everything that was laying dormant is now waking up!
Let’s get out there and breathe it in!
But the wind…
It’s invigorating!
And the chill in the air?
Dress warm of course! There’s a pair of mitts in the drawer.
Fine. I guess you won’t take no for an answer.
Nope! Now let’s go!
Well… would you look at that! The clouds have cleared, and the sun is out!
Guess we don’t need that umbrella after all. Come on let’s go!
Humph... Fickle March.
