What Makes Me Happy

The sun has gone for his holidays We don’t know when he’ll be back. He gone to Australia for a rest But we can’t wait for him to come back. We miss him when he is away He never sends a postcard. I suppose he might find writing it A teensy weensy bit hard. He is baking the Australians And the Indians too. I know that cos I just spoke to one He was very polite to me too. He told me it is 35 degrees And he is getting a bit hot I told him to send it back to us Because we definitely are not. He laughed as he gave me the codes To fix my remote control He wished me all I wished myself I thanked him, and said that was my goal. Now as we get nearer to the solstice The sun I have to tell You will be making your way back soon And on that I am going to dwell. It makes me happy to know, You will have to start your return I can’t wait for the solstice on the 22nd to pass For this I am longing and I yearn.

Dear Mandy, It's a big 10-4 on this POEM I am cold blooded. one day a couple of years ago it was 35 degrees below 0 and the windchill factor I used a full cord of wood that night. I await the first Bud. LOVE YOU ALWAYS and FOREVER YOUR Eternal Liege...Harry

That's right. Thursday is the shortest day of the year and we will start seeing the sun (if he is still up) there a bit longer. Congratulations on your high placement. Love, Joyce

Let's celebrate the solstice. Unfortunately, we still will have three months of misery; but it's true, it makes me happy, too. Your poem says it well; others bake in hell, while we in the freezer dwell.
