In the winter when it's freezing
if I don't wrap up warm I'll be wheezing, coughing, sneezing
making my chest & back sore
my joints hurt me even more
my legs feel weak, my knees won't let them move
my hands and feet have turned to ice
hot drinks & soup feel so nice
I just want to stay indoors all day wearing my fluffy PJs!
You'd think I'd prefer it when it's hot
but let me assure you I do not
heat causes a whole host of other problems
at least when it's cold you can make yourself warm
in this humidity I cannot breathe
clothes sticking is painful on my skin
oh I just cannot win!
And it's not just the temperature outside that's a problem
what about getting the air conditoning or heating just right?
And keeping the window open or closed at night?
No that's too hot! I open it again
no that's too cold! I slam it closed and stomp back to bed
and during the day I lose count of how many times I change my clothes
"I'm a bit chilly, I'll put a cardigan on"
"good god I'm sweating", I throw it back off!
