Brrr Poem by Deanna Samuels

Returning home from moderate climes,
brrr, what a difference - straight into winter chills.
Snow lay all around with icy roads and footpaths.
Let's think back to Athens and warming sun!

Don't want to go out but needs dictate must,
have to stock up empty fridge and pantry.
Put my Michelinman thick bubble coat on
and into knee-high fleecy lined boots and away.
