In Winter I’m Rounder
In winter I’m rounder
and fatter than before.
I’m wearing coats and sweaters
and woolen hats galore.My hands are as plump as kittens
when I’m wearing winter mittens.
My legs in thick, snug snow pantslook like an e
lephant’s.
Indeed, I must confessthat when I do undress,I feel as small and lightas a bird flown out of sight.
Winter Windows
In my neighbor’s window
Seven candles shine.Glossy black, green and red,
They show it’s Kwanzaa time.
In my neighbor’s window
Eight candles make a row.Hanukkah is symbolizedBy their golden glow.
In my neighbor’s window
One candle flame burns brightIn a wreath of hollyOn this peaceful Christmas night.
