Jack Ellison Poet Quatrain

Balmy Or Frigid

It's moderating, yee haw it's warming a bit
Finally it's getting above zero
Just a while ago thought 5 was freezing
Now it's balmy from a few days ago

In comparison temps can feel warm or cold
Depending on what we're accustomed to
Fifty can feel downright damn balmy or frigid
Really not much us guys can do

Go with the flow, that's what I always say
At fifty in the fall wear a coat
At fifty in spring strip down to your underpants
Coz fifty's balmy, no joke

So there you have it, that's my take on things
Humans are hard to comprehend
Hard to try to figure us modern guys out
It'll drive you around the bend

Carol Eastman January 10, 2014 at 11:11 AM They kept talking about the north pole vortex... Dragon and I thought it was rather catchy... Er ... I did... Dragon kept looking for some sort of sci fi Tornado of cold death... He's watched WAY too much TV lately... With the cold and all... You should have seen the look of relief in his eyes when we said it was gone yesterday... It was PRICELESS! Yep! He's rather gullible... Believed there was a real Sharknado, too. Honestly! Some people have trouble with their grip in reality! Jack Ellison January 10, 2014 at 11:15 AM As you know, John Wulf has resurfaced! WOO HOO! Always likes his comments and sense of humour! Think he still loves us both! LOL
