This afternoon the plink, plink, plink
of the persistent sleet pelted anything that stood still
My spring disposition led me to
black pumps with dress pants
no tights, no trouser socks
Walking into the kitchen tonight
I noticed first thing
the Keurig's stare
and I let it make eyes at me
on account of the
four hours mine
were
shut
last
night
and
that
they
are
barely
open
right
now
and that my toes are frozen
Tonight the drip, drip, drip
of its comforting brew is my pre-dinner lullaby

I hope it was decaf or hot chocolate that was brewing in the machine. What a miserable beginning to spring for you. Get some comfy socks and slippers on to warm your feet and soon you'll be feeling better.
ReplyDeleteBrrr-I'm cold just thinking about sleet and bare feet. It takes me a long time to get brave enough to go without socks and it's not even that cold where I live. Glad you had the comfort of a pre-dinner lullaby and hope you headed to bed EARLY tonight!
ReplyDeleteI could go for a hot chocolate right about now (Five minutes ago, though, not so much). Maybe I just will... but first I have to exercise.
ReplyDeleteYou're the second Midwesterner who's written about the weather. I suppose I should check my weather forecast. I have a feeling snow or sleet may be on the way!
