COLD COMFORT

The wind is gusty, rain is cold
and falling down in sheets.
Staying home bound's getting old
( I tire of eating snacks and sweets. )

I usually love the leafless trees
but not on days so wet and dreary,
even the wildlife all agrees
of clouds and cold they're also weary.

But it's warm and dry inside.
I think I'll light a cheery fire
to chase the chill from my child bride.
perhaps to kindle new desire ?

a day that I would stay in too. Especially if I had a child bride! [Not that my bride isn't sometimes child-like! ]
LOL I had visions of a crackling fire with a bearskin rug, and mulled wine. It really sounds good on a day like today, when I am experiencing a cold, rainy day! Unfortunately, I have to go out and do a few errands, but as soon as they are done, I will go home and turn up the heat, by jumping into bed, with visions of your work, and a hot toddy, and maybe even the wife! Great work, ~ Gee

I'm picturing that

And laughing. But I know you wasn't laughing at the time. My feet are cold now and it is 67 degress F in my room. Now stay in a few days and write some more Great poems. Take Care. huey
