My Facebook friends are full of joy
At what is blooming—boy, oh, boy—
The crocuses are bursting through,
The redbuds cast a dainty hue,
Forsythia brings a golden glow,
The daffodils make quite a show…
While we look out on fields of snow.
No calendar can claim to know
When spring will deign to say it rules
In Anchorage, where April fools.
