The only thing better than a snow storm

Is a Nor’easter around a glorious full moon

In the early or middle part of February

When springtime could not arrive too soon.

It stops everything in the shadow of the groundhog;

It clears the air and it lowers the boom,

While it only delays the wonderful anticipation

That the love birds with their songs

Will anon croon the hearts

Of the dreamers, finding giddiness

In the pleasure of a winter snow moon.
