An Oddly Warm December

Twenty twenty one was odd from beginning to end December was oddly warm with hardly a chilly wind The rose bushes kept a blooming and folks still mowed We did need rain but hardly a drop ever showed January roar like a winter beast with icy winds a blast New Years Day was rainy with temperatures dropping fast With wind chills it was ten below even got a little snow Twenty twenty two begins back like we always knew Mother Nature freezing us in coldness deep blue The furnace keeps the house cozy and warm Baking in the oven for winter treats we all yearn Sleeping with extra blankets and the cat and two dogs If you walk by the fireplace throw in an extra log Goodbye twenty twenty one we had enough of you Hello twenty twenty two may our faith and hopes come true
