Woke up this morning, dark starts my day,

Got out of bed, freezing all around.

Went to the kitchen as i always do,

A cup of coffee, thoughts of the day.

Turned on the television, time for the weather,

Time to get dressed, i put on some shorts.

No matter the season, it’s the way that i am,

A sweat shirt and jacket, soon time to leave.

A knee brace to walk, on go my shoes and socks,

To warm the morning, a fireplace of wood.

The sun is rising but it’s still cold and frosty,

Feed the birds and squirrels too.

I say a goodbye, headphones ready to go,

Out the door, i’ll be back home tonight don’t you know.

Tis’ a new morning, Winter is here,

Thanks for spending the morning with me,

I best be on my way.
