The winter winds are a world away
That’s where I wish that they all would stay
There are some things I could live without
Including ice, slush and sauerkraut !
Now it doesn’t matter how I try
My ideas don’t stand a chance to fly
So old winter gets to rear its head
Bringing snow and cold to us instead,
How I wish I could escape the frost
And this wintertime would just get lost !
The legs won’t move, they seem possessed
And cause great pain with no redress
The body aches and labors so
It is an effort just to go.
With time all problems multipy
There is no way one can defy
The chronic ills that ageing brings
To life and limb and loads of things !
I try so very hard to see
The value of equality
But I have learned quite recently
That some are equal more than me !
