Out Like a Lion

November goes out like a lion,

All growly and ready to pounce,

Though I doubt that a lamb-like December

Will waltz in with a whirl and a flounce.

 

Still, I’m grateful that most of this autumn,

We’ve managed to spend time outside

For with winter just waiting to greet us,

Much more time in the house is implied.

 

Since I exercised early this morning,

While the lion was still not awake,

I’ll not venture out into the jungle

And relax with a stay-at-home break.

 

Yet I hope that tomorrow the weather,

On the day that the calendar turns,

Will be welcoming all who desire

To cross lions off from their concerns.
