The temperature dropped by six degrees, snow now carpets the ground and tall fir trees. I adore wintry days such as these, and dash to the shed with my bunch of keys then ferret around and find my old skis. I hurry inside out of the chill breeze then dress in my waterproof dungarees - if I fall over they may save my knees! My friends live nearby, they're from overseas they’re superb skiers I’ve seen their expertise. They have a sweet dog he’s a Pekingese – he can’t come here as he’s covered in fleas, and my allergy to dogs makes me sneeze! We meet at the ski slope, I feel at ease; on climbing to the top I start to wheeze - my friends laugh at me, they are such a tease! Monorhyme Contest Sponsored by Shadow Hamilton 02~12~17

I enjoyed your monorhyme with my morning coffee- light and fun. Sorry I have not been keeping up with poetry these last few weeks, too distracted - so i guess I missed some good ones. best luck in the contest, Jan.

It's lovely to see you back Agnes i know you have been struggling recently and the dull weather does nothing to raise our spirits either:-( hugs jan xx

A nice fun poem to start the day Jan. I hadn't heard the term "dungarees" in a very long time. Nice word choice there. This should do well in the contest.
