For The Birds<o:p></o:p>
<o:p> </o:p>
It must be that wintery-cold time of year<o:p></o:p>
When birds fly south and honk with good cheer.<o:p></o:p>
Forming a vee formation or shaped like a fan<o:p></o:p>
As they fly off in search of a warmer wonderland.<o:p></o:p>
<o:p> </o:p>
The food is exotic down on those beaches of golden sands<o:p></o:p>
Where they値l mate, hatch some young or work on their winter tans.<o:p></o:p>
They値l miss Hanukkah, Kwanzaa or Solstice, and even Christmas too<o:p></o:p>
As they bask on the southern coast where the skies are still azure blue.<o:p></o:p>
<o:p> </o:p>
Just sitting here freezing while all the trees go bare<o:p></o:p>
As they bask in the warm sun without me, with nary a care.<o:p></o:p>
So, I値l just hunker down here in this thick California tule fog<o:p></o:p>
and sip some good cheer with this golden booze-spiked egg-nog<o:p></o:p>
And defrost my frost-bitten toes beside this blazing yule log.<o:p></o:p>
<o:p> </o:p>
