Winter Doggy

Doggy in your winter coat

Bundled warm against the chill

You with your paws of ice and snow

And white Santa beard on your chin

Anxious to go out and play

Snuzzling, muzzle down in snow

Romping, playing, running deep

He cares not how the wind does blow

But wait! Hear the snow plow run

Dropping blades at the corner

Chickadees make their play for

What the winter has to offer

Shovel deep and shovel often

That’s what my men folk say

But I am safe and toasty

Warming the puppy in from play

Bursting in from adventures cold

He laughs as he runs inside

Prancing, dancing, shaking snow

Here to snuggle with me safe beside

Christmas lights they shine and twinkle

Baby in your manger there

Heavy laden branches full

On limbs so newly bare

Family round and family far

Hot chocolate cures what ails

But nothing in this world compares

To a warm snuggled puppy with a cold winter tail
