While our country is still struggling with the concept of unity, one thing we all seem to agree on is how much we love Bernie and his mittens. They’ve inspired memes, merchandise, a poem, and a song parody. So, once more I’ve scoured the internet in search of the best. I present, “Bernie’s Mitten’s Part 2.” (I need to write a children’s book about this!)
You sat there, quite comfy, in your home-made mittens
We all took one look, and were suddenly smitten
You unintentionally became a work of art
You warmed your hands, and warmed our hearts
What you’ve accomplished, no one could dream
You united a country under a blanket of memes
Just sitting there, you set us on an upturn
You gave us what we needed, and we all feel the Bern

Yes, I read about her gift. I just love the way he was so casual on that day, and how everyone has embraced ‘The Mittens’. 🙂

Kim, my son used to live in Burlington, VT, where Bernie was mayor many moons ago. That is one cold place. So, Bernie would be a great advisor on warm mittens. Funny story, when we visited Burlington one February, they were having an Indian Summer and the temperature was around 60 degrees F and sunny. The college kids were outside throwing frisbee, some with shirts off. That night, winter returned and it was 7 degrees F the next day.

I lived in Massachusetts until 3 years ago so was quite familiar with the ups and downs of New England weather.😁

Kim, I bet you do. It is a lovely area. We enjoyed a wonderful vacation that took us from Boston to Maine to CT and back to Boston, but that was in September. Keith

We lived in Danvers, which is about 25 minutes outside of Boston. Were you able to see the Berkshires? That’s a lovely area of MA.

Some very creative memes came from this. Bernie himself was a good sport about it and laughed about it. A bit of comedy to break the tension is just what was needed.
