I am Freezing!

by Jack Prelutsky

I am freezing! I am freezing!

I am absolutely cold,

I am shivering and shaking

like a pudding in a mold.

There are glaciers in my stomach, 

there is sleet inside my bones, 

I am colder than the contents

of a million ice cream cones.

I am freezing! I am freezing!

From my bottom to my top, 

all my teeth are clacking madly

and I cannot make them stop.

Oh I cannot feel my fingers, 

and I cannot feel my toes,

now my cheeks are frozen solid, 

and I think I've lost my nose.

I am freezing! I am freezing!

Inside out and outside in,

every bit of me is chlilly,

every single inch of skin,

I have icicles inside me

and my lips are turning blue, 

and I'm sneezing as I'm freezing,

for I've caught a cold...

ACHOOOOOOOOOOOO!

We woke up this morning to our first "real" snow in this city...and it is cold!  I've promised the girls a chance to go play outside, but I'm already anticipating how "Freezing!" I'm going to be!!

Pictures and more to come...
