Ode to February

Self effacing, oh Feb, you stand,
smallest of the great monthly band,
content with the standard weeks four
and rarely demand a day more.

Though firmly in winter’s cold camp,
there’s hope in your briefest of stamps,
you might threaten a terrible freeze,
but with coming of spring you still tease.

Cold and grey as you so often are,
there’s good reason to make you a star,
while others take forever to run,
one blink and February’s done!
