foot in mouth - "winter? say what?"

Twas the week before Christmas, 

When out of the sky, 

Some dandruff was falling, 

While sleeping was I.

When up I arose from my slumber with care, 

I looked out the window and cried a sad tear.

For out of my window with a sad sad surprise, 

The dandruff was sticking on roofs quite close by.

I put on my sweater, 

I let out a sigh, 

I went out to see the dandruff from sky.

I looked t'ward the neighbours, 

All snowy and cold,

The dandruff had covered the roof,

Darn the cold!

I remembered my words, 

"Winter? say what?"

Reality struck me, 

It's just my luck.

But then something flickered,

The leaf of a plant, 

Not covered with snow, 

Not even a scant.

I looked to the palms, 

All happy and green, 

A microcosm of warmth, 

Had set them a sheen.

I remembered the trees, 

The wise old sages, 

They keep me quite warm, 

and buffer winter storm.

Filled with relief, 

I let a shriek, 

"No snow here today!"

I said with glee.

My heart warmed, 

As I drunk my coffee, 

I made it through winter snow one, 

without harm.

Then out from sky, 

something grand appeared, 

Golden and glistening,

Glorious sunshine!

"Goodbye,"

 I said to the dandruff on roofs,

And like in a dream, 

The temperature rose.
