Winter coats are telling me
That
freezing temperatures are due
Woolly
everything now relevant
My fur
lined boots a favoured shoe
Smiles
are strained to grimacing
Shoulders
hunched in collars turned
Cranky
mornings full of cold and damp
Tweaking thermostats confirmed
Never
mind it won't be long
As 'whispered songs' of swiping cards
Will
overheat your bank accounts
For jolly
parlour game charades
Cheer
up and wear your bravest face
Ring
out loud your carriage bells
Peal a
crumbled chestnut husk
A
seasoned compliment that quells
Once
again your winter wrappings
Demand
abundant bursting hoards
To
clear the shelves of shopping malls
For
gifts that harmony affords
