Bundling Up

Catherine Pulsifer

I've got on mittens, a scarf, and a hat,
Can't tell where I end, I'm wrapped up that fat!
Moving's a task, but at least I'm warm,
A human burrito, winter's new norm!

My boots weigh me down, they're clunky and wide,
I waddle like a penguin with no place to hide.
Each step's an adventure, my balance unsure,
But freezing my toes? That I'll not endure!

My coat's so puffy, I'm twice my size,
I see my breath in the air as it flies.
Gloves on my hands, so thick and tight,
Trying to grab things? Oh, what a sight!

The hat on my head keeps slipping askew,
Covering my eyes, blocking the view.
But the chill’s held at bay, so I won't complain,
Though dressing like this is a comical strain!

Winter's a season that tests us all,
But I'll stay snug, though I look like a ball.
Through snow and frost, I'll shuffle along,
Laughing at myself as I hum a warm song!
