Winter's Slumber

A time to chill like the frosted air bundle up with hats and scarfs While nature gives its animals fur and thick skin Our fat we so not as well cherish But that deep sleep like the bears Comes when the house is so cool What is it about icy chilly air That sends me into a drool of slumber The fresh scent of cool linen Beneath my warm grandma quilts It's inviting and hospitable You want to linger in luxury To cast away winter chores like shoveling snow I rather Warm my toes by the fire melting marshmallows for smores And nurse hot drinks The flip side of summer Is the warm fuzzy rituals We create only in winter.
