A Winter Walk

It’s cold in winter.
There’s a nip in the air.
So, to venture outside,
it’s good to prepare.

Let’s take a brisk walk.
Do you have what you need -
a hat for your head and
boots for your feet?

Long pants would be good.
Add a scarf for your neck,
and a coat with a hood.
Let’s start our trek!

What do you think?
The gloves or the mittens?
You’ll want warm hands,
in these cold conditions!

Now look at you!
You’re ready to go.
You’ll stay nice and warm,
when the snow starts to blow!
