Last Remnants of winter
Present into summer,
Runoff cascading down the mountain.
How long can it last?
As it turns out,
About the same amount
As a crafty lie spread about,
Longer than it ever should.
Yet, the snow will need to wait
Until winter to show itself again,
While there are enough remnants
Of a lie for the powers to pick up
The pieces and craft something new
For the average consumer.
