Clothes For The Weather.

Goldfinch60



I do not wear clothes

For the time of the year it is,

I wear clothes depending what the weather is.

If it is raining,

I’ll wear a mac.

If it is cold,

I’ll put a long-sleeved shirt on.

If it is very cold,

I’ll put a coat on.

If it is warm,

I’m in trouble,

As I cannot go down the street

Naked.

So shorts and tee shirt

Are the least I can wear.

I just do not feel the cold,

And I laugh to my self

At those that wear clothes for the season,

Not for the weather.

As I walk down the street,

In a balmy temperature of eight degrees,

Or higher,

In my short sleeved shirt,

I see people wrapped up

With so many clothes,

They must think it’s approaching

Absolute zero.

They think I am mad,

They may be right,

But I wear clothes for the weather,

Not for the season.

    'Do shut up Orchi, it's not you,' says Fido!
    Whatever season it is, my singing is never appreciated. I always have to 'get my coat' and clear off! heehee.

          Nah - you'll be alright, it's down to 35 today......

          Well, here in the US northeast, we're known for sudden weather changes. And we're also know for a saying, "If you don't like the weather, wait a minute it'll change". Good idea to not go out the door naked. You'd end up being locked in a small room with bars and Orchi singing about KP. 🙄

            It is the same here in the UK, we can have the four seasons in one day!

            What a frightening thought locked in a room with Orchi nearby singing about KP. ðŸ˜ŦðŸ˜Ļ😎

                  I don't have all their albums, but I've been a huge fan since the early 70s and seen them in concert about 8 times. Sad that Denny Laine just passed.

                  Excellent work.

                  • Goldfinch60

                      and why not indeed .. I don't mean walking down the street naked but .. oh' well I think you get my drift ..

                      • Goldfinch60

                        True Neville, I dress for the weather but even I do not walk down the street naked, too many people would laugh their heads off. ðŸĪĢðŸĪĢðŸĪĢ
