Wind Chill

The temperature is 21 -

Though cold, it fits the season,

But that does not explain why,

While out walkin’ I was freezin.’


For when you factor wind chill in,

It feels like single digits 

And teeth that chatter from the cold

Have naught to do with fidgets.


The streets are strewn with boxes

Left out for the garbage truck,

Which, when hit with gale-force blastings,

Couldn’t help but fly amok.


To those who aren’t used to

Cold that chills you to the bone,

Blame it mainly on that wintry wind 

That won’t leave us alone.
