Morning Dressing

Shower is done

Thanks to fluffy cotton towel

I’m almost dry

Yikes, gentle air sends a chill

First comes the underwear

No more tighty whities, just the boxers

Grey band out, sewing seam in the back

T-shirt is next, get the chill off my back

Now comes compression socks

woolen, snug and warm.

Not as simple as it sounds.

Polar Max leggings and top

heading into the home stretch,

or so it seems.

Jeans over leggings keep the legs

What belt hole will we use today?

Chill in the air clearly says

The shoes can wait

Let’s get that sweater over the Polar Base

Now that’s snug

Those shoes would be nice

Left and right, firm and comfortable

Instep support goes a long way

We’d be ready to roll if only

we had something like central heat

Since that’s not the case

A hoodie and winter vest seal the deal

Now we can open the bedroom door

See what mischief a winter’s night

has wrought in the living room.
