Anticipating equinox
If only just a bit.
The sun shines bright on mah old Maine midcoast home -- The wind, though: due west, cold as a witch’s tit, And forty knots, plus. I’m prepared for it: Layers. Space heaters. So I can scribble a pome Jacketless, shoeless. Quite a nice prodrome Of warmer days to come. And not a bit Deterred, sleep in my usual bedtime kit, Déshabillé. (Blame the Y chromosome). With lots of blankets, though. So here’s the moral: When cold winds blow, and find you, well, bare-assed, Pile on whatever covers; and don’t quarrel About the fiber, or what might have passed Under them erstwhile, penile or clitoral. Stay warm tonight, and let the past be past.




And even a fire!
