I Took a Cold Shower Tonight
January 2011 (9th Grade)

I took a cold shower tonight.
It wasn't very nice.
I couldn't feel my fingertips;
my hair was turning to ice.
My teeth chattered.
Shivers went up my spine.
It was 20 degrees out, 
and yet it was warmer outside!
It was getting worse.
I had become so numb.
I craved that flaming inferno
called The Sun.
I was through
and had finally warmed up.
Daddy came to me
and asked if the water was cold enough.
I hadn't even been in
for a quarter of the hour,
then he said it was
a lesson for my sister for taking 45 minute showers.
