For a smile as wide as a country sunrise
Winter Is Here
Winter is here with all it’s woes,
It freezes my face and my toes.
But really now, what can I do?
If you were here, you would freeze too!
It takes so long now to get dressed
To go outside, my mind gets messed.
Did I get dressed to go outside?
Or have I been and back inside?
My frozen nose falls in the snow,
I look for it, where did it go?
My hands I can no longer feel,
No one believes this cold is real.
So many clothes are needed when
I go outside, I cannot bend!
I cannot move, I am so cold,
On moving south, I’m really sold!

Good morning, Steveβthe image of your nose falling off made me chuckle! Born in ChicagolandβI remember cold winters having to bundle up so much to go out and playβcouldnβt move! Ahahaha. And here….we are unseasonably warm and dry. Sigh. Ah well. Stay snuggly and keep writing these fun poems! ππβοΈ

Thanks for reading Nina! Glad you got a chuckle from it. Yes, it takes so long just to get ready to go out in winter, especially if one is planning to be outside for a while. My summer mornings on the deck with a cup of coffee! Miss that already! It’s colder than normal for us and no snow except flurries. So the frost is already going down. People with septic fields are worried. So many water and sewer pipes here are not that deep due to rock and they freeze easily. Like here. No fun when the water freezes.
More fun poems will be coming, helps with these long cold winters! Have a wonderful day Nina!ππΈπβπ¨

Yeahβsummer will return….
No fun when water freezesβoh boy!! Strange weather here too for sure and our air quality sucks! I can feel it when Iβm outsideβthen I start to cough…
Glad there will be more poems coming! I like the humorous poems. I canβt seem to write humorβmine always come out so heavy. Maybe one day that will change.
I did post a new video today so make sure you check it out. Hope you arenβt still too choked up from the other post. I donβt mean to. π
Well, Iβm off to go shopping today for groceries…and coffee! Stay snuggly! See ya later.

No, frozen water definitely is no fun, have had it happen a number of times over the years. Are you getting smoke from fires?
Winter is a good time for humorous poems,ππ€ͺ I like to write them. I have written humor poems for a lot of people for different occasions like birthdays, anniversaries, get well, graduation.ππ
Will check out your new video right away, have been off my laptop this afternoon, too many things to do and I move too slowly right now!ππΉπ³
It’s not you, it’s me, sometimes I just don’t know what to say so it comes out right. I know what I want to say but when the words are written down it doesn’t sound right. That’s me.ππ
Hope your evening is great!ππΈπ

Our summers are not hot like yours though, mostly 20 to25, maybe a week where it goes over 25. But we used to have longer and hotter summers years ago, temps up to 35 or higher. But the last 10 years our summers and winters are getting colder. Ice age coming!!π₯Άπ₯Άπ³π²π¬πππ
