Wittenbergplatz after work ©MTHerzog
My pants pinch around the waist;
it is the wrong time of the year to go on a diet;
Christmas cookies should be banned, especially baking them;
It is dark when it should be bright and sunny;
How can it be 7:00am already? It is still midnight dark outside!
The heater can’t warm me fast enough;
It is impossible to be warm and fashionable with all the layers;
There are gifts to be bought, but time and ideas fail me;
Berlin traffic is not as bad as Manila or Bangkok, but the rudeness… ;
Winter seems to be an excuse to smoke at every pedestrian stoplight;
The nordic winds are impetuous and cruel,
who gave them permission to chill my bones anyway?
I’m sure that is a violation of data protection and privacy…
I hate winter;
Don’t like mulled wine;
Christmas markets are overcrowded;
Is it my imagination or is everything more expensive at the moment?
Rainy winter days just makes everything worse;
Cyclists think they own the world and all the sidewalks;
Yes, I am being a grinch and I need to be one at the moment.
Let me blow my top at all those who don’t see things my way,
or ask the impossible;
I just want to wallow in my misery and never have to step out into the cold;
The subway trains are late;
the buses overcrowded;
People have forgotten how to cover their nose and mouth when they cough, sneeze, or yawn;
somebody give that man a case of deodorant!
why are ripped jeans in winter even legal?
I am a menopausal grouch
and a woeful Grinch
but just for today,
or maybe tomorrow?
