I left the house this morning,
And felt a little chilled.
Remembering this summer,
Believe me, I was thrilled.
But still, after a block or two,
I was a bit distressed
‘Cause in my skirt and t-shirt,
I was slightly underdressed.
It still is summer, after all,
And so I did believe
That I’d be fine out in the street
Without a longer sleeve.
I swore I’d not complain a bit
Once all that heat had passed,
And I was happy to be cold
And hope that it will last.
Yet still, I shouldn’t walk around
With arms goose-bumped and bare,
Not when my drawers are bursting with
Long sleeves for me to wear.
And so I went back home and changed
Without too much delay,
Delighted to attire myself
For this, a long sleeve day.

Awesome, lovely sentiment considering our weather too! We now have yellow on all the aspens around our house, and I'm wearing jeans on a regular basis - a nice change after not even seeing them for months! I, I am so happy to have received this in my 'inbox'! Now I won't miss a one - thank you!
