Every 4 years, comes February 29
Added to keep our calendar fine
This year it's winter with Boreas
Throwing a cold, raw wind at us
With high clouds blocking solar gain
Time to add wood to stove again
But, like most of this year's winter
Southern air will soon splinter
This round of cold, back to warm
The Earth's new norm
But, this Leap Day
Winter holds sway
Going out
Bundle up, no doubt
World-wide, coronavirus on spread
Health organizations: bit of dread
Here, instead of being world leader
Unprepared, stuck with a tweeter
Blaming others for his incompetence
Idiot VP as czar, makes no sense
We've worried a crisis would come
Whole administration, brain numb
Dense Pence, solve it with prayer
Dreams of Armageddon, he don't care
How does it spread, we don't know
Nor next, where will it go
But, know a US tour is coming
Likely, we all will be bumming
Lies, spin & blame all we get
From ones "in charge" of it
Markets crashing, supply chains down
Major chaos all world round
And, just for what it's worth
What doesn't care? Earth!
Don't care about quakes around rim
Or where Pacific crust is tucking in
About Venus & lovely moon in sky
If wind & temps are low or high
Earth don't care about anything
Just a planet, freely spinning
But, about to get blast of solar wind
Up north, Auroras it could send
Magnetic field & atmosphere
Will keep the zapping north of here
Closer to home
Pre-dog roam
Got dozens of Gold Finches in yard
All, at the seed, working hard
It's crazy, there really are dozens
Squawking, bickering, fuss-ins
They quickly fly away
When my door does a'sway
Heading out on this extra day
Bundle up, but get out & play
It's leap day, be 4 more years
Before you get Leap Day beers
Cooling Pond is about to open
Later today I'm hoping
To get up that way
And, tuck a fresh beer away
Enjoy your Leap Day
Today
On Earth!!
