The Cold Draft

Suddenly there was a cold draft It was chilly reminiscent of a wintry shower bath Making the body freeze With a tundra tease It came from up there Screaming icy air Was it a duct? Where the warmth got stuck? Like a refrigerator open door Luring a bear into making an easy score Dressed in the appropriate hibernation muffle Before escaping doing a planned shuffle Closing the door Than crossing the frigid floor The draft did stop And soon it got very hot Suddenly there was a cold draft Apparently one or two countries had a wrath Notice came in the mail Failure to respond meant going to jail Reporting to camp With a form signed by a rubber stamp Boots on the ground Glory and honor it did sound As copter blades twirled And butch haircuts curled Things went down Hopefully the bodies would be found Closing the casket Family wearing black veils to mask it The draft did stop And bonding financial transactions started to get hot Suddenly there was a cold draft Foaming an artistic craft Not a bad deal for a first round that was picked A social prop soothing the issue that made them ticked Corona was its name Perfect for the conversation game Debating with a laugh Communicating about the calculating national debt math Not using any sharp words as spears Just a nice talk over a few beers Going down like a saintly breeze Unlike a French wine next to cheese Closing the tab Before calling a cab The draft did stop Making the bar flies bug out cheerful not angry and hot
