On a day like Today

Whether to count on the weather

On A Day Like This
Not really the winter's day
The calendar proclaims
It's shirt sleeve weather
Last year it was ten degrees
Cloudy with a dusting of snow
On the fifth of January

This year it's seventy-two.
Bright sunshine, no wind
Unusual for this part of TEXAS
Makes me feel like planting
A Vegetable Garden

A day like this
Usually comes late
In March or April
Why, now I think

But I know
The trickster is
At work

If I plant Today
It will surely freeze.
