Just a slight chill in this morning's air

But enough to not go outside and dare

To walk around block without a sweater

But perhaps not a coat made of leather



Or even a parka with down lining removed

Something probably no longer required too

For seventy degree weather's forecasted again

So Spring must have finally broken thru the panes



Of clear glass hemming in all of the animals inside 

Whose thoughts will now turn to their innermost pride

To do with making abodes nice and clean and tidy ...

For other thoughts address ideas of coming out of hiding
