January Pansies
Saturday it was eighty-five out
it was enough to make me dance and shout
it was enough to make me dance and shout
Overnight the temperature it dropped
thirty degrees it went and plopped
Unpredictable the weather in Texas is no doubt
one or three warm days then a winter freeze comes out
There is nothing ordinary or boring about January here
as you can see by the pansies on the side of the road over there
Pansies in January - how could that be
but there they are under the ice covered tree
Yellow and sunny like the few days before
pansies in the icey rain - on the way to the store
