The struggle
(by R.P.Edwards)
Annual
Ever
Struggle
Me
Clothing
Cover
Must be free
Nature's bombast
Bend the knee!
Submit! Submit!
To Jack Frost's glee...
The blade, long, sharp, cold, and at my throat, caused my face to grimace and my muscles en masse to constrict. "I must resist," I muttered as I tepidly reached for the silk-like covering. "It's not time. I WON'T let it be time!"
FROM THE OTHER ROOM, "For goodness sakes, Leonard! Put away the Hawaiian shirt and shorts and put on your coveralls! It's freezing out there!"

It's an annual struggle; transitioning to cold-weather fare. I do so like my airy Hawaiian shirts (with their convenient pockets) and the shorts that complete the ensemble. And although I do not live in a far northern clime, where autumn arrives like a sledgehammer, this midwestern region can have extremes of temperature, and today the thermometer visited the freezing point (hear the northerners chuckle).
I'm weakening. My Weather Bug app says a slight warming is coming, but I suspect Thanksgiving will find me showing less skin. Alas.
The poem continues...
...And so I bow
Resisted threads
To cover courage
So warmth is fed
But it won't be long
Winter's demise
The floral top
And shorts on thighs
****
