Can Anyone Love A Michigan Winter

Michigan fairs well

as it always will

though the cold days of winter

can be a bitter pill

Yet they come with rewards

and these can be so divine

down the hall to the kitchen

a fresh cobbler, all mine

The warmth from the oven

the smells baking brings

often in winter

are my favorite things

Fresh bread and muffins

the cobbler mentioned above

cup cakes and pies

with scents that say love

Then on the tongue

all these flavors explode

and you find winter's brought

the great mother lode

There's the stews and soups

the chili, the roast

the great feasts created

of which you must boast

You see those cold days of winter

they're not really so bad

when you take to the kitchen

for more of what you just had
