I was born on a snowy January day And for some odd reason prefer winter This amuses Jane as she adores the summer Earlier today when I was tidying the garden I spotted the early signs of colder weather The larger birds were flying amongst the high spindle trees And many of the smaller creatures were filling their stores A freeze is not far away and it is very likely to snow Jane likes the snow and often takes advantage of the fall We toboggan together on the slopes of Lucy Hill Or engage in naked snowball fights in the Saver Clearing We then return home to our rural cottage To thaw out in a place of sanity Hot soup cheese rolls and all John Thomas 7th January Lady Jane
