Wintertime in Oregon…Get Ready!

Winter in Oregon some do lament

Is fraught with grey skies…  and money gets spent!

The lights are on scaffold and song fills the air

Groupons a-plenty and devil-may-care

The way-of-the-world and Portland’s delight

Is the bane of onlookers preferring a fight

For Oswego and Portland and Bridgeport and Yon

Are prepared for the winter and the show it puts on

The grey skies don’t daunt and the season invigorates

Even home-buyers are dealing to celebrate

The gloom you’d expect and accompanying sadness

Are not to be found, but instead settle gladness!

For Oregon is nothing if not Beauty and Bliss

Even in winter it’s just no better than this.

 

Happy Wintertime!
