Take to your bed
for winters cold dark days cometh
and with it
that jolly rogue "Jack Frost"
He'll set about his antics
bringing a chill
which taketh from us
the old and the frail
freezing their final breath before their very eyes
His playful
devil-may-care manner
will nip at your fingertips
yet leave beautiful "iced ferns"
to decorate your windows
he'll freeze your pipes
but colour white
the thatched roofs of the cities houses
take to your bed - wrap up warm
for "Jack Frost" slips in unbeknownst
under doorways
blows in through draughty windows
billowing curtains
darting hither-and-thither
confusing our minds
slowing us down
with fumbling fingers
and impaired judgement
reach for your warmest attire
but take to your bed
and so
with a hot beverage
don't let "Jack Frosts" mischief
...take you away
