Springtime In Vermont

we tried to bike
but it began to rain
but even the mud
couldn't stop us

mountains of snow
contrast the grass
as little kids
climb to the top

berries grow
on the bare
dead branches
of the old tree

people rave about the warmth
changing into summer gear
and it snows
the very next day

"In like a lion, out like a lamb."
but what what if
the lion ate
the innocent lamb?

Floridians would say
upper forties are winter weather
Um,
have you visited vermont in springtime?
