A Flannel Shirt

When the air has a chill,
There are sweatshirts and fleece,
Shawls and sweaters and scarves
To help shivers decrease.

But we shouldn’t forget,
As I’m here to inform,
That a flannel shirt’s best
To keep cozy and warm.

With an endless assortment
Of patterns and plaids,
These are tried-and-true staples,
Not fly-by-night fads.

Now with two new additions
To flannels I own,
I will conquer the shivers
To which I am prone.
