A fabulous frosty morning,

Thick screen of fog to and fro,

Serene surrounding, I trow.

Frosty fog wrapping everything,

Like a smooth, soft blanket,

Nu,still some lads playing cricket.

A poor little girl, shivering with cold,

Sans sweater and with rattling teeth,

Yells with agony. . .no fabulous fog!

For me and for The Have-nots,

With empty pockets and no roof —

Considering ourselves only aloof.
