Cold old bones 💙

Cold old bones 💙

I shiver and quiver like rolling rapid rivers

Meandering down mountainsides, mustering might it delivers

When one is getting older the cold is a mould, that penetrates the pores like pure carat gold

Chilling the very bones on my worn out body, needing hot water bottles with a stiff hot toddy 

That rain is a pain when it sleets and snows, I will hibernate like a hedgehog until it melts and goes

I dread the wintertime when the frost turns to ice, stabbing my skeleton like a carpenters vice

Yet I frolic in fun with that old currant bun, soothing my senses amidst the sizzling sun…
