Giving In

A little chill has crept inside
Since summer's skulked away.
At first a sweatshirt does the trick
To keep the cold at bay.

But finally I must give in,
Admitting my defeat,
For up go the electric bills
When we turn on the heat.

Where I live I, happily, pay no utilities at all! But I do enjoy the cool temperatures now. My morning walks with the dog are invigorating and it's a relief to breath in cool air free of stifling humidity! / M
