Book 20 Page 38
It’s winter time
It's cold outside
it’s winter time
and the grass crackles under your feet.
But I’m inside
by the fire side
a putting on another load of peat.
----
The snow falls down
there’s frost all around,
I can see the children making snow men.
And my god it’s cold
with a wind chill bold,
it hasn’t been this cold since ‘who knows when.’
----
We have snow on the hills,
out in the winter chill
you can go skiing most of the day.
But I’d rather use my time
with a bottle of mulled wine
than go out in the cold and play.
----
So I stay inside
by the warm fire side
while the temperature outside’s way below naught.
And so I’m snuggled up warm,
out of the harsh winters storm
a- thinking this cozy little thought.
