Snug in flannel shirt,
long underware, lined blue-jeans -
Geezer looks at 10 (degrees, that is!)
This is a re-working of an autumn haiku I wrote a couple of years ago (well, on 11.6.23 to be exact) that went
Temps, leaves start to fall -
snug in his flannel lined jeans
Geezer waits on fall.
(and looking at it now, I'm not sure I like the two "fall"s. Guess I did back then?) I always used to scoff at old guys wearing long underware for everyday activities, when they weren't out tramping through the snow. You could see the long underware cuffs under their regular shirt. But flannel lined jeans are really nice!
