Good-Bye Sunlight

by Trish Albert

Good-Bye Sunlight
Oh! How we will miss thy warm rays

Good-Bye Bellyache
How we will miss the suffering thou dost inflict

Good-bye Short Sleeves
Off to the depths of the closet with you!

Good-bye Lactic Acid
How it burns within the quads

Good-Bye Warmth
Until we meet again in the spring

Hello Darkness
Bring out the artificial beams

Hello Cold
Thou dost torture us with thy bite

Hello Trainer
The boredom, the monotony of thee on dark winter nights

Hell Gortex Booties
Protect the feet from cold rain and wind

Good-Bye Friends
See you when the sun shines again
