Lumpy Oatmeal makes me Crazy!

My arms became tired and my fingers were sore
It snowed last night and the wood pile had to be moved
I threw each piece with precision against the wall
The resounding thumping noise made me smile
Green leaves showed defiance towards the impending cold
They waved to me as the more tired drifted to the ground
Winters no longer on its way.Winter’s here
It whispered in last night and dusted my car with white
I lit my woodstove to take the chill off
And wondered why I had not put the lawn furniture away
The cats were lying in front of the flickering fire
They nestled in for the long dark months of eating and sleeping
I told them they do that in the summer too, but they only sneered
What do I know, they asked – I was out tossing wood
And they were basking in the warmth of my efforts.
I knew they were thinking while I was up, I may as well feed them.
