Mean Streak

You are the burst of spring 
that lifts the winter gloom
You are the brilliant smile 
that brightens every room
You are the vivid silk 
spun by a radiant loom
You are the ray of hope 
that dispels the cloud of doom

I tried to think 
of nice things to say 
Actually you're like 
a dreary winter's day 
You remind me of 
a bleached out bale of hay
You would make the sun 
hide its rays
