banquets, pagan lights, festivityhuman tradition lauds creativity
fires burn and warm the heart
God's creatures furry or feathered
diurnal, nocturnal all are weathered
Mother earth protects her progeny
her forte lack of genetic homogeny migration precludes hibernation,
brumation yet not estivation
brumation yet not estivation
living well through the seasons
no matter rhyme nor shining reasons
no matter rhyme nor shining reasons
snow squalls decorate our latches
seeking sustenance in chorus
mice digging tunnels under snow
little whiskers afeared to show
frantic in their feeding fervour
daytime bashing scarlet heads
seeking insectum in their beds
loudly warn at every instance
feline friends to keep their distance
