Outstanding In Her Field

I’m snuggled warm when the winds do blow

I give warmth to others that I don’t know

I’m often shown where I should go

Mine’s a wandering life  – to and fro

I’m happy in the company of others

Yet, I sometimes go astray

But with a little nudge of encouragement

I usually find my way

Some think that I’m not too bright

But this is an accusation unfair

It isn’t that my brains are slight

It’s just that I don’t care
