| JANUARY POEM Each year ends At Christmas time One hard act to follow Each year starts with January In the snow we'll wallow Too cold, too bleak Too icy too What is there to like Can't swim, can't golf Can't feel the sun Can't even ride a bike What is there To dote upon In the dark and cold There must be Some treasure still Within dead winter's hold We could go To ski and schuss Down a mountain side One might try To figure skate With graceful spin and glide Maybe run That favorite hill In a big toboggan Or build a fancy snowman tall And decorate his noggin There are books I meant to read Now might be my chance Perhaps it's time To don those shoes And learn to ballroom dance I could binge watch TV shows That my cable's got Go to work out In the gym Mmmmm....maybe not Better yet I'll knuckle down And set my muse to roam I'll put to pen And bring to life My January poem |
