When it is twenty below with snow
or warning of a blow
surely have ready a ton of coal
and grandma's hand-made throw;
socks on toes.
Don't forget to stack wood by the hearth,
wise to wear a warm scarf,
put extra bedding on the low berth
stay dry for all you're worth;
socks on toes.
Stoking hearth aglow with a wood fire
keeping matches drier
in the pockets of winter attire
wear gloves that you desire;
socks on toes.
Should the roads close best stay in the house
and snuggle close with spouse
hug her closer when she spots a mouse
hunker down, cook a grouse;
socks on toes.
