In like I'm Lyin'

Eddy looked out his window on the first day of spring.

It was snowing.

“Ah,” he said, “It’s gonna be one of those years.”

Nonplussed, he got suited up, went out side and made snow angels.

The neighbors later wondered about the eighty year old man laying in the yard, laughing like a child with its pants on fire.

Some of the grown ups called it Alzheimers.

Some of the grown ups worried that he might catch his death of cold.

All of the children wondered how such an old man could be so Intense.

Eddy just laid there in his snow suit (snug as a bug and dry as a fly for those readers who might be concerned) and smiled.

It was going to be one of those years.
