January Thaw

January Thaw In the thrall of January’s dismal weather (Comprising snowstorms and freezing temperatures) While staring out the window from the interior, I endeavour to regather my composure By testing myself with a blithe question, I think keen, “Isn’t this the coldest January you’ve ever seen?” And wryly smile to myself with a whimpered answer, “I think that the coldest January I recall, From day one to the end of the month without thaw Is this one, the coldest January of all!”
