Pet Aversion


O, winter drear, I like you not,
For me you do not hit the spot.
Nor do your antics win my pelf;
I wish you would go chase yourself!
                                                      T.E.M

O, bard, with you we all agree,
That winter’s not what he should be;
He’s not that kind of chaser, see,
He’s always chasing you and me.




Jan. 1910
