Isolating Winter

Old Man Winter is
in failing health
suffering from Spring fever,
able now to muster only
a wan and worn facsimile
of a snow blizzard
on occasion, not even
remotely resembling 
what his cranky fury is
generally capable of.
He's off to the infirmary
for a deserved and overdue
stay and preparing to
accompany him are his 
collegial cronies
wind, sleet and cold.
May they enjoy their due
convalescence in isolation.
