The poetry just keeps coming out of him. Here’s Monday’s offering from OTBKB’s verse responder, Leon Freilich:
FRIGID AIR TIP
When icy winds are cutting
And frozen breathing’s strutting,
A scarf on nose and mouth
Makes you feel you’re in the South,
And if it’s scratchy wool,
Boom–warmth to the full.
UP/DOWN TOWN
February days are troubling,
Punctuated by gusts;
Turn a pleasant, temperate corner–
Take a blow to the guts.
ALEUT HOOT
The total benefits of winter:
Vivaldi’s best Season
And airing out our drawer of woolens.
None dare call it reason.
