Sleigh Ride

I love riding in an old-fashioned sleigh Tightly bundled against the frosty air, A fine snowy winter evening getaway. The two of us snuggling giddy and gay, Enjoying ourselves without a single care I love riding in an old-fashioned sleigh. Listening to harness bells jangle and sway Occasional snorting of the dappled mare A fine snowy winter evening getaway. An exquisite ending to our perfect day Snowflakes falling softly onto our hair I love riding in an old-fashioned sleigh. So enjoyable a ride we’d love to stay But others are waiting for turns over there A fine snowy winter evening getaway. We’re delighted by the children at play In the snow, and still, they stop to stare, I love riding in an old-fashioned sleigh A fine snowy winter evening getaway. Written November 29, 2022

I'm sorry to learn you've never ridden in a one-horse open sleigh. That's an experience you should seek out, Jo.

Your Jolly villanelle Jingled with happiness and merriment all the way through. Milt.
