In Winter when the air is chill, <br />And winds are blowing loud and shrill, <br />All snug and warm I sit and purr, <br />Wrapped in my overcoat of fur. <br />In Summer quite the other way, <br />I find it very hot all day, <br />But Human People do not care, <br />For they have nice thin clothes to wear. <br />And does it not seem hard to you, <br />When all the world is like a stew, <br />And I am much too warm to purr, <br />I have to wear my Winter Fur?<br /><br />Oliver Herford<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/winter-and-summer/
