Temperatures drop suddenly
My ambition follows suit
I walk outside with no coat
Look at the bright cloudy sky
The moon is large giving light
An airplane is zooming in
For a landing in the nearby airport
They appear to be gliding
But are traveling at 400 miles per hour
It drops quickly for its entrance
I think, just like the temperature
Air travel is safe for the most part
Some say safer than car travel
40,000 are killed each year in traffic
The pilots have a lot at stake
Gives me a higher degree of hope
I am a white knuckler when it comes to flying
Looking up I can see no stars
The moon is the big cheese
A man is walking his dog
A large chocolate lab and
The little plastic bag he carries
Appears to be full, so I am sure
He feels like it has been a success
Can probably barely contain his excitement
“Cocoa” was good tonight, honey
He’ll show his wife the bag
My lord, she’ll say, he was a good dog
I guess older people need this activity
Life for some is rather boring and
A good dog offers fulfillment
Even on these cold evenings
The man wasn’t wearing a hat, so
Tomorrow he’ll probably be sick
That will give the misses a chance to
See how she can do with daily duty
She will go when it is still light and
Hopefully warmer, but true dog lovers
Are dedicated and usually hardy
There are more planes coming in, too
I would call that a bonus
