Too cold for polar bears?

Upon waking yesterday morn, the temperature was 8 degrees;

cancellation of events and slippery icy roads, disliking winter!

T'was out driving and dealing with the limited visibility; freezing.

Wasn't fun maneuvering usually two lane streets; turned one.

 

I'm sitting here wide awake and staring at ice crystal windows,

went to bed last night, temperature was frigid sub zero; No joke!

The furnace had a busy night keeping this old drafty house warm.

My cute little budgie who "was" chirping, is now sleeping on perch.  

 

Giving a memory of yesterday brief thought and still find it funny.

Went shopping after losing the debate of exiting a warm vehicle.

Over heard a conversation regarding me, based on the "assumed".

The two ladies(without a doubt) read what's posted on net sites.

 

Standing in the next aisle, ears slightly alert, hearing my full name.  

Should I walk up to say, "hello!" or tell them to mind own business?

Found it amusing and a bit flattering, despite negative words used.

Did they see me enter the store or did they even care that I heard?

If I were indeed the "rumored" witch, I'd melt every inch of snow.

Why did these villagers "presume" I'm holder of necromancer's card?

Defective reasoning of me practicing "voodoo" and casting many spells.

A bit of food for thought; It's one-dimensional and illogical thinking.
