March Madness

You’re probably thinking this is about basketball, the tournament soon to be;
But the ball is bouncing differently, as you soon all will see!
For this poem deals with the weather, that fast approaches, in a storm;
With temperatures so abnormal, twenty degrees below the norm!
.
We thought that when “Phil of Punxsutawney”, said Winter soon would end;
His prediction was reliable, and on it, we could depend!
But today, there comes a blizzard, tomorrow temperatures drop to eight degrees;
Which will feel like less than zero, if there is a little breeze!
.
So, it’s get back out the parkas, the mittens and the gloves;
Because soon, it will be snowing, from the cloudy skies above!
“March Madness” came far too early, ten days before it should;
We’ll be snuggling in our living-room, and burning firewood!
.

Early March Madness
That’s the way the ball bounces
Can’t bank on nothin’
