What a word! Like a plump smug cat
Lips wet with cream
A warm fire, a shaggy rug
Feet that sink
Caressing, bare-foot
Dressing-gown close
Hot milk and honey
A drop of whiskey
That soothing heat
Caressing the throat
Silk gloves are too dainty
But woollen scarves!
And sky blue duffel coats
Wrapped tight against cold
Waking in a country house
Tip-toe to the stove
Soaking the oats
Stirring the milk
Porridge! What a word.
