It’s dark outside today at seven

This second morning of twenty three

Weather dull with rain to leaven 

My mood from dull to happy

I’ve decided that the best solution

To overcoming these weather woes

Is to develop a mood in opposition

To nature’s gray and soggy foes

I’ll bravely smile at the wet and dank

Frowning at bright and golden rays

Defeating nature’s drab and bank

Some karma for spring's sunny days
