WHAT'S THE REASON?
By Jim Manee.
A man will bundle tightly up
And then, at that, he'll freeze
When sauntering 'round the city
In the winter's chilling breeze.

In summer, spring and fall;
And in the winter they don't seem
To mind the cold at all.
P. S. But, just the same, we'll bet
their knees are shivering.
