Melbourne Winter
Sprawled luxuriating
in this warm king-size
bed while outside Melbourne's
winter makes folk grumble,
I smile to myself: who's
so infuriating
as to criticize
the weather! humble
yourselves, guys.
And stay inside in bed.
They say We have to work,
shop, and exercise.
Wrap up then, and shut up.
The sun still crosses the skies.
Sunlit clouds today - I saw them
mount up like mashed potatoes.
Sunset - gelato excess
of lurid tastelessness.
As the cold set in I fled
to this double-doona bed.
