Freeze Me!

By Bud Lemire

Freeze me! It's so damn cold
Either that, or I'm getting old
Below Zero temps, old winter is here
Need something warm, to cover my ear

I'll put on my beaver hat today
Not going to freeze, it's not my way
I'll bundle up tight, if I go out
Not going to freeze, but I may shout

In below zero temps, I'll stay at home
A warm apartment, and I'll be alone
I'll work on a project, I have plenty to do
Getting things done, is what helps me through

Don't go outside, if you don't have to be
Stay inside, be warm, be just like me
Don't expose your skin, to the frigid cold air
Wait for the summer, then you can bare

Visions of me on a warm summer day, on my bicycle
While I stare out the window, at a hanging icicle
A car drives by, and starts to slide
Freeze me! I'm not going outside

Author Note:


Don't go outside and freeze,
if you don't have to
These below temperatures are nasty.
Stay inside and stay warm.
