THE BIG FREEZE STARTS
We brace ourselves now comes the cold
as big freeze starts today.
Now evil ways are taking hold
beneath the shroud of grey.
Birds have flown off to warmer climes.
Small mammals hibernate.
These groups avoid the hardest times
but some months they must wait.
No longer we see the bright blue
and where has gone the sun?
Aloft was once a joyful view,
now all of it is glum.
We suffer short hours of daylight
and often they are grey.
Now we shiver through day and night
but still we hope and pray.
We must adapt so we endure
as comes the ice and snow.
But we have a well-stocked larder,
ready for worst of show.
