Winter Draws On!

Winter draws on!

I'm going to sort my cupboards

And my wardrobe one day soon

When I've got a morning free of plans

Or an empty afternoon

When I see my short sleeved garments

All hanging in a line

I get goosebumps all along my arms

And shivers down my spine

I need my big thick jumpers

And my cosy winter fleece

plus gloves to make my hands all snug

And bid those shivers cease

The electric blanket's on the bed

And socks for my cold feet

My winter wardrobe's almost done

My plan is near complete.

Just the winter draws and thermal vest

and a blanket round my knees

Then I'm ready for hibernation

So don't disturb me please!
