I Just Want to Go Outside (original poem)

Today's post is simple: My poetic plea to the universe to please hurry up and let Master Winter go his merry way and let Madam Spring take over. Normally winter is my favorite season, but I'm sick of the cold. I'm sick of the snow and ice. I'm sick of staying inside watching the dreary weather outside and daydreaming of sunbathing and reading at the picnic tables on campus. I'm sick of having to wear a winter coat everywhere in the month of A p r i l. I'm just so ready for spring, and beyond that--

"I Just Want to Go Outside!"

Last night I had a wondrous dream
Of reading on a hill
In a t-shirt, shorts, and sneakers
It brought a lovely thrill

Today I wake up and look out
It's still gross and cold, I find
I'm getting sick of winter, man
I just want to go outside

This semester's quickly getting old
I'm running off of stress
When I get like this I often find
That the outdoors helps me best

But I can't really do that
When the weatherman has lied--
It's still forty degrees, turns out
But I just want to go outside

Now, look, I am a simple girl
I love the snow and rain
But truth be told, they're getting old
I'd like some sun again

There's snow forecast for tomorrow
And possibly this weekend- sigh.
Will it ever stop pouring ice?
I just want to go outside.

I'm getting tired of the same four walls
And all the dead, brown grass
Some leaves before finals would be great
Or some birds to watch in class

They say April showers bring May flowers
But what do April snowfalls provide?
It had better be seventy degrees and sun-
I just want to go outside!!!
