We Weather It Out This Finter

bright! bright! bright!
and cold

if i touch my nose to the picturesque windowpane 
i’ll surely see the light

this Finter uproariously has censored
my two day habit of nature walks

wrapped in layers, scarves and woolen socks
a shock to reigning leaves of gold

the South and North locked in uncivil war
with similar flocks of weather-cocks

our country vast with flames, rain, blizzards
and but a little sun

who will win today
headlocked in this political haze
snowmen with bolder-arms
could melt upon the congress floor
wet with united tears
divided under scrutiny

we weather it out in cushy chairs
our tushies need repair

"finter" - what a great word! We all need to take a clue from you and make up our own words. I am glad you put the explanation though.

I honestly did not thing the F in Finter stood for Fall. But it's good your way too, Kim. LOL

Seems the political finter has been around all year and never more evident than right now when temps here in South Texas hit 29 degrees this morning. Brrr...but still I think I am better off outside braving the cold than watching the gusty winds blow on Capital Hill. : ) Loved how you did this Kim.

Thanks! Funny how Finter and sphincter sound so close! Can’t look away but want to...a little humor ;)
