chills you to the bone,
The best thing to do is to stay warm
and safe at home,
For exposed human flesh can
freeze quite quickly
So if outside you have to go please
muffle up completely.
Ten minutes of exposure is very
dangerous you may know,
Goggles for the eyes and even your nose
should not show.
Fingers even in gloves can suffer from
cruel chilblain pain,
So all I can say I’ll hibernate until warm
spring comes again.
