They look at me as though I am mad!
Yes, it is cloudy.
Yes, it has been raining,
But it is stopped now.
They are all dressed for winter.
But there’s me,
Short sleeved shirt,
Shorts,
Sandals, WITHOUT SOCKS.
I think it is warm,
If there is a shower,
It matters not,
Skin is waterproof!
They look at me as if I am an idiot,
But I am content,
Content in my own body.

- Comment from author about the poem: When I go out I dress for the days weather, not what the season is, I see so many people now starting to dress in warm clothes and winter coats and it is still warm.

I tend to get me coat out at the least chilliness. I go by - best to wear one, if need be. I can always take off my coat if too hot. But if not having a coat with me, I may stay chilly all the time.
And yep, we had heating on for a while the other day - September!
I think it depends a lot whether we feel the cold much or not.
I do not feel the cold, I even where short sleeved shirts in winter.
I'm a 'snowflake' as they say - Brrrr! lol.
Great write and a clip of the wonderful Jess Gillam - all's well with the world.
It is all well, all I need to do is get up in the morning and I know it will be a good day.
Pleased about the non-socks by the way.
Yes I never where socks with sandals - surely it is sacrilegious - Jesus and his disciples never wore socks!
Different strokes for different folks. Great that you are comfortable in your own skin, especially without socks! Enjoyed. Maggie
Thank you Maggie. I am not quite as bad as our Parish Priest he wears sandals without socks all through the year. (Mind you he is a super guy, many do not get on with him, I do, perhaps we are kindred Spirits).
I'm so pleased you are not a naturist. Those people, I wonder if they're aware of people staring at them. I couldn't do that. Innocently i took my young family onto Studland beach once... quite an eye opener!
I'm with you, dress for today's weather. I always have a lightweight pack-away cagoule in the car in case of threatening skies.
So do I but it doesn’t seem to come out very often.
hi there nice to read your words again so you don't feel the cold lol you should try an Irish winter,,,,zigs
Sorry zigs, I have only been to Ireland in summer. Thanks for your kind words.
Thanks ANDY ~ Love SCARAMOUCHE and he Saxophone ~ brilliant combo ~ AMEN To dress or not to dress ~ that is the Season. I am a bit like you ~ Im not (like some Ladies) Season coded clotheswise. I like cool clothing (not too heavy) so it does rather depend on the "Temps du Jour" rather than the Season.
ANGELA is a bit confused by the NZ Weather ! The first three Months June July August have been WINTER ~ but most days it has reached 15F (60C) and the clothes she took are much too work ~ Its now coming into SPRING September October November and it will get even warmer ! It is the sub~tropics ! For retired people there is NO DRESS CODE. I work indoors (except for Field Courses) so it is Centrally Heated in Winter so my work gear is cool casual ~ except for Meetings & Interviews etc when it is FORMAL. Because it is a 16+ College there is no dress code for Students ! Yours BRIAN
When I was working I was always suited and tied, it was they convention in those days. Now I just dress for comfort, there are some formal occasions when I need to find a suit.
Thanks for your comments Brian.
I do want to see you wearing socks with the sandals. Otherwise, nice poem.
No chance, it is not in my religion.
