Snowbird Mania

This is inspired by a promt at Writing Companion "are we there yet". It seems that some of us long to be "there" yet won't admit it when we arrive. Here it is:



It is here now
but not there yet
as the bulbs
begin to bloom
.
As coldness fades
to warmer days
and sunshine
replaces the gloom
.
Deep in the south
spring has arrived
yet the northerner
still wears his coat
.
In this respect
they can't claim tops
so I guess
it's our time to gloat
.
These are the days
they pile in cars
and head
this way yet they fret
.
They'll spend a week
declaring we're slow
not admitting their words
"are we there yet"?

    Good idea taking 'there' as seasonal change, plus the phenomenon of people migrating for climate.

    Enjoyable rhyme; even the rhythm reflects the humor within the content of the poem. ;) Cheers.
