It's winter!
What do you know?
The big show is back in town.
Shall we go?
It's been a while since we've set foot outside.
Let's shine a little light on these poor bastards,
Bring some joy Doc, Maikel yelled.
You know it's cold outside, Jane said.
She no longer sat close to the door
It wasn't due to the fallen lamp but the draft that
Made her ignore the wrong horoscope for
Today we already discussed.
No thanks, no time, I am fine
Still working on a gift, Sam mumbled
While Tom successfully avoided Maikel's hand
Come on you old grumpy fox
Who needs a bronze box
Why don't you buy something?
Let's go for a walk, watch the show, relax and have a good laugh together.
I need to grind the corn, Birgit remarked
She looked absent.
You mean the coffee beans dear, Tom whispered into her ear
At least that is what he thought,
Since we all did hear
The words spoken.
B's loss of words didn't bother him.
They practised the word gym
Together.
All you need is love, sounded from the radio.
If life was only that easy.
Unfortunately,
Love and 'easy' are not the norm
Come on guys, let's leave this dorm
Today.
Let's live, Maikel begged, let's stem the flow.
Although,
Maikel was annoying but he was right
Life should be lived and not only inside
The walls of this institution.
Indeed it is cold, there is ice and snow
But also a show worth watching.
We'll go, be prepared, I decided.
Hats, scarves, gloves and boots on.
I see you all in two hours,
This session is done.
Holiday on ice, here we come.
I smiled and hummed along with the song on the radio
Together we're strong
As I walked out the door
I knew we all would give our best, try to be
Just a regular guy in the street
Obsession free.
Greetings from the 6th floor.
