Dear buddy, you haven’t got heat or hot water?
Wear long johns, a coat, and a beanie?
Your shower’s so cold it would shiver an otter?
I’ve no answer, my friend—I’m no genie.
It’s the same over here. I can’t warm up my rice,
live on lettuce, walk round in nine layers.
I feel like I’m bathing in buckets of ice.
Let us send one another our prayers:
Soon the birds will arrive, trilling loudly and clear,
magnolias and snowdrops will bloom,
and our lawns will revive, till we suddenly hear
an ICBM going “BOOM!”
