The Coming of Winter!
-
NB: I really don’t have eight blankets hehe but I do have some fluffy ones!
The coming of Winter!
It began with a “Brrrrr”
Then a shiver, and a shake.
Followed by a cuddle
Into a fluffy blanket or eight!Winter was here
And everybody knew
So things were quiet…
As the chill slowly moved.It started in MattyLand
So the heat was turned on high,
All the citizens huddled,
And wrapped up warm and nice.Then it drifted so slowly,
Into the Kingdom of Bedroom,
Where a fluffy ball could be made out
All curled up and snoozing…
It was her Highness the Princess Kitty,
And even she with her fur, was under a blanket!It didn’t seem to phase the Blocktropolis, Blocktopia,
As it slowly drifted by so very cold,
Probably because its made of blocks,
And I guess block people don’t really mind.From there it traveled further,
To the great Kingdom of Pigglylot,
Lord Pig Pig-a-lot seemed excited though! and he shouted so loud
“ITS SOUP WEATHER FINALLY! I HAVE BEEN WAITING SO LONG!”From there it moved over the fence,
To where the clucks marched and lived.
No one ever went over there,
But where the chill had been, was obvious!
For wherever it went
The leaves fell off the trees,
And you could hear the clucks talking loud, if you listened carefully!
“These leaves will make great armor, pick out the best
We will invade Soon! When its warm next”!From there the chill then found the Pirate Zebras,
On a boat… on an island! That drove on land?
And from Doctor Captain Lucia a sound could be heard,
“YARGH” she went, as she grumbled at the chill!
But Muri Licks Noses Sniffalot the First, Second and Third,
Didn’t seem to mind… probably because she was so hairy.But the chill didn’t stop there,
It even went where no one goes!
Reaching the island of no where,
Where the French Sheep were plotting.
“Baaaaaaaa ddddd cold” they all went in a grump.,
“How we can we build our Laser to cut cheese from the moon,
To drink with our Grape Juice, when its this damp and cold!”
They all rushed inside, there Super DARN station,
To cuddle up warm, and wait out the winter.But the chill didn’t reach everywhere,
I guess it got tired,
Or perhaps it was lost…
Maybe its map was broken!But on its way to Fort Goat,
Where Queen Helen ruled,
It ended up making a circle…
And going right back to where it started!
Queen Helen felt left out, and she tapped her foot
“Why where I am is it warm, when everyone else is cold”
But that thought was short lived, and didn’t last long…
Because as long as it was warm, she could eat ice cream for lunch.
