On This Kind of Day
The weatherman says it will be 85
But it now feels like 72.
So what should I wear? Out the window I glance,
Thinking people will give me a clue.
Yet from what I can see, it’s a very mixed bag –
There are t-shirts and sandals and shorts,
Though I also see long-sleeves and jackets and jeans,
Which all go with both weather reports.
Yes, on this kind of day, there’s a wide-ranging arc –
Any item of clothing will do
And since I’m always cold, I’ll wear layers to peel,
So I’ll comfortably muddle on through.
