The icy hand of Death
Starts with the feet,
Reaches up from the
Cold ground,
Wants to pull you down

For a nice boat ride .
How long before one
Gets fully embraced by
The chill varies .

Best to keep plenty of
Wool socks on hand
And dress in layers ;
Could be a long winter .

Hot chocolate !   almost
Forgot the hot chocolate .
