Baby, It’s More Than Cold Outside!©

We wake to the cool of the house
The children attempt their morning showers
But the pipes are frozen
And the water has an unfriendly chill
So everyone moves forward with a chilled sponge bath
Thank goodness the heat hasn’t abandoned us
Everyone functions in slow motion
Dreading what is before them as they
Leave the warmth of the house behind
They scurry towards the car
Like squirrels to hide their parcels
I’m left to lock up the house
The cold air takes hold of my neck
Holding tight like a noose
I work frantically to
Seal the lock
Then rush forward to find warmth
in the comfort of our car
As we pull away
The sun glistens and I see a shadowy figure
That almost resembles a laughing ball of ice
Could it be that this cold day is taunting me?
Baby, It’s More Than Cold Outside!
