a bleak midwinter is peoples for when your papa goes away to arkansas and it won't stop snowing on you and your mama in canadia and then you are naughty at the dog park so you cannot go there anymore for a little whiles and your mama has to walk you around and around in all the snow and then when you come home she does not cuddle on the couch because she goes out to shovel the walk and that is NOT HOW THINGS WORK so you have to bark and bark and bark and bark and bark and jump up on the door to tell her to come back inside and then when she tries to come back inside she can't come back inside because your jumping "locked the door" which is peoples for your mama has to sit outside in the snow for hours so you have to keep barking at her until a man in a truck comes and drills holes in the door and your mama has to give him all her moneys and then when she is finally back inside she does not even want any kisses
i think the poet christina rossetti said that
