Time for winter to give other seasons a turn

Dear Winter: Please go away. Leave us alone. You have outstayed your welcome. Perhaps, Old Man Winter has become forgetful, unaware the calendar says April. That he first showed up in November, some five and a half months ago. That isn’t fair to spring, or summer or fall. The other seasons want their turn to shine. We want to play golf, to wear shorts and sandals. We just want to be outside. To enjoy fresh air. Without winter. So please leave. Take a break. You have worked hard this season. You must be tired. We are certainly tired of you. You are making us cranky. So pack up your cold, your wind, your snow and your sleet. And don’t come back anytime soon. LEAVE US ALONE! On behalf of the entire upper MIdwest, thank you.
