It is Getting Colder

Shannon and I have been exchanging haiku via email because what else would one do this close to Christmas? And because of this I came up with a small song on the way home. I took note on my iPad when I made a quick stop at Toadstool and since I have not posted in awhile (ok, quite awhile), I have decided to post it here. It goes to the tune of Inky Dinky Spider. I was not trying to write a song for this tune, the rhyme just came and then it turned out that was the tune. Anywhere you go!

It is getting colder, each and every day
And I am getting older, in the normal way

My joints are getting older, because they're part of me
And, they say that it's colder, then it used to be

Chilly air and Asthma, the wheezing soon begins
Because of Renaud's Syndrome, frost bite is setting in

The winter winds are howling, the temperature is low
And my primary complaint is, we still don't have snow.
:)

Have a Merry Christmas everyone, and a Happy New Year!
