\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 When the frost is on the hot tub,<\/p>\n

\"DSCN7313\"<\/a><\/p>\n

And the dog lies in the shop,\"DSCN7328\"<\/a><\/p>\n

And the leaves are looking hoary,<\/p>\n

As from the trees they drop.\"DSCN7309\"<\/a><\/p>\n

And you hear the chickens cluckin’<\/p>\n

As they scratch the cold, hard ground,\"DSCN7331\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Chuckling to each other<\/p>\n

About all the worms they’ve found.<\/p>\n

\"DSCN7306\"<\/a><\/p>\n

\u00a0 The gardener plows the garden,<\/p>\n

While the wife takes in the seeds.<\/p>\n

To supply the family next year,<\/p>\n

With all the food it needs.<\/p>\n

\"DSCN7310\"<\/a><\/p>\n

\u00a0 The sky’s as blue in heaven,<\/p>\n

As all the seven seas.<\/p>\n

And the chill winds<\/p>\n

They are blowin’,<\/p>\n

Chasing squirrels among the trees.<\/p>\n

O, it brings a chill to people,<\/p>\n

That is felt down to their toes.<\/p>\n

So they hop into the hot tub,<\/p>\n

To ease their bodies’ woes.<\/p>\n

There’s something kind of pleasant,<\/p>\n

To be soaking in the tub.<\/p>\n

It’s getting to it without freezing,<\/p>\n

Now, that’s the only rub.<\/p>\n

The bubbling of the jets,<\/p>\n

As they beat against your skin,<\/p>\n

Makes your toes curl up tightly,<\/p>\n

As you wear a happy grin.<\/p>\n

\"DSCN7321\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Then you know you have to exit,<\/p>\n

And wonder what you’ll do?<\/p>\n

“It’s cold out here,”\u00a0 you’re thinking.<\/p>\n

It makes you cry, “Boo Hoo!”<\/p>\n

But at last you feel the warmth again,<\/p>\n

As you run into the house.<\/p>\n

Then you jump in bed and snuggle up,<\/p>\n

Like a furry, little mouse.<\/p>\n

Good Night.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
