Staying In the Shade

"Let's go out!" they cried, "Summertime's just begun! Grab the lotion and towels and the new watergun, Let's prepare a picnic and call up everyone! Aren't you going outside to soak up the sun?" "Not I," I replied, "for summer brings me pain; It reminds me of times which no longer remain, So I'll just stay inside and watch out for the rain, And wait for the winter to come back again."
