Mainers don’t always wear Flannel

We brave the cold winters and bear the snow,

With dry humor. You don’t get it, we know.

Mainers in flannel, you imagine us, from head to toe,

Even in summer, you think that we refuse to forgo.

closets of quilted plaid and red, it’s not our only wardrobe

no beanie on top for bed, yet sometimes nothing under our robe.

And when winter comes, thicker than molasses

We wear shorts and no coats, like stubborn asses.

‘Cuz it ain’t winter till we put on our coat! I ain’t puttin’ on my coat.

Then we hunker inside to watch re-runs of “Murder she wrote”
