Baby, It’s Cold Outside

It takes ten minutes
to dawn coat and gloves
scarves and boots and woolen caps
earmuffs and face masks
Pry open the frozen door 
and step outside
wait thirty seconds for the dog to pee
and run back into the house

I must admit, most times we just open the door and let him out. But there's not much inspiration in that.
