WHITE LEGS
During long winter clothes go to the toes,
Only eyes and ice cold nose ever shows
From beneath layers to try and keep warm,
Protection from the endless winter storm.

Now nearly everywhere you go you see -
White legs!
From ankles to varying inches above the knee -
White legs!
They stand out bravely stark and so ghost like -
White legs!
As they walk up town or go for a long hike -
White legs!
Until the kind sun tans and we no longer see -
White legs!
Then wait again next year they are set free -
White legs.

It is a year and year about thing we can all see,
Unless the folks fly south through winter’s cruelty,
But you do not notice tanned legs in the spring,
It’s white legs that are in fashion, and smiles bring.
