Analysis of To Live or Not To Live
This cold weather I think hate to live
January, February, March, or December
any month makes me always chill;
brrr! It's so cold that couldn't bear!
This cold weather makes me feel sick
when is the time I will be in chipper?
nah! oh, think I'll make a good deal;
should I say to live or not to live?
This cold weather is not bad after all
the fact that my hubby lives here;
he makes me sweat, stand still, so I say
hate to leave because I chose to live!
