Pat, wear a vest
If your boiler's gone west,
You don't want the cold
To get on your chest.
Your friends have suggested,
If you're interested,
Useful ideas
That are well tried and tested.
Eat lots of food,
Don't sleep in the nude,
The last thing you want
Is to be a cool dude.
Get dressed for bed,
Wear a hat on your head
Forget the PJ's
Put a coat on instead.
A sock full of rice,
If warmed, can be nice,
Worn round your neck
To ward off the ice.
If you're of that bent
Your nights could be spent
As snug as a bug,
Upstairs in a tent.
Thanks, Richard Bridge,
For advising partridge
In her hour of need,
When her home's like a fridge.
