A Chilly Thrill!

Though winter lingers in our sights

The crispness of the day delights

Amazing – sky of peerless blue!

The birds sense there’s a change in view.

 

Their happy cries (or is it tweets?)

Echo down the chilly streets

Faithful harbingers of spring

The mating season can begin!

 

It’s Friday! Workers spill outdoors

Abandoning their admin chores

At lunchtime as, all wrapped up warm,

Into chic eateries they swarm…

 

While scarves and woollen hats abound

My gloves accompany me to town.

The shops of course sport springtime wear

But I’m too cold, so do not care …
