Die Hard Joggers

The jogging group just ran by Donned in hat, scarf and glove. Patches of snow still on the ground lie Sent from the skies above But it doesn't diminish the jogger's love. They're laughing and chatting on the way Enjoying fresh air and clear skies. It isn't supposed to snow today So today's run is their prize. Let's hope the weatherman's wise. They give me hope that spring is near Though they're bundled up warm and snug. At least thirty joggers have passed by here While I watch from inside with my coffee mug As warm as a bug in a rug. I should feel guilty I suppose That I'm not out there jogging too But this cold air affects my nose And makes my lips turn blue So I'll just wait for the snow to shoo!

A brisk walk suits me more than jogging. Mind you I seen the day I would have enjoyed it. Lovely poem, and being as warm as a bug in the rug does sound kind of inviting in Winter.....:) smiles

You had me smiling, Francine. When we're moving quickly, the cold weather doesn't seem so bitter. Now repeat after me: "Shoo, snow, shoo!" It'll be gone soon. Love, Carolyn

Your sweet words are like whey and curds. When Little Miss Muffett sits on her tuffet, keep the spider away so she won't be frightened today. Do spiders really like cottage cheese?

Smile ~ This is Sooo intense within some way my dear and one can only hope that your beauty shall one day be able to join those passing joggers and climb out of that coffees mug of which I somehow sense to be but a metaphor, perhaps but, yes, somehow someway, upon the streets of lovely Canada someday; dreams do come true ~ "Love, 'Always,'" John!:) ~
