Hairy Legs, A Poem

I originally wrote this in March of 2014 on the Bubblews platform.    Just a fun little blurb of a poem.

In the wintertime

So cold and dreary

The furnace blasts

The body is weary

Long pants on legs

Warm sweaters above

Coats and scarves

Ear muffs and gloves

Air so dry

Lips are chapped

Packing extra pounds

All energy zapped

Lotion and chapstick

Are seasonal musts

My razor on a shelf

Collecting much dust

Shorts and swimsuits

In a tub, packed away

Simply waiting to arrive

On a warm spring day

When the springtime

Finally arrives

When glowing warmth

Begins to thrive

Sweaters will be packed

Shorts will come out

Hats and gloves

Children will flout

Colors will blossom

Flowers will bloom

The lilacs fill the air

With a lovely perfume

The singing robins

Begin to lay their eggs

And my husband smiles again

As I finally, shave my legs
