The Five Sons of Mother Nature

Someone said, "Bring back the funny" But I'm not mentioning any names ( Faleshia ) So if this just ain't your cup of tea Then she's the one you blame Here's a story about Mother Nature Did you know she had four sons? Winter, Spring, Summer and Fall But they weren't her only ones She had an affair with Father Time And had another bouncing baby boy Since all the seasons were already named They just called that poor kid Roy Now, Roy was kinda the black sheep He liked to color outside the lines He always stayed in trouble with the law And Mother Nature, had to pay his fines Now, he really didn't have much talent Though he was born with a silver spoon But everytime that boy would sneeze It would snow somewhere in june Well, they tried to keep him a secret But the snow was taking its toll So she told that boy to use his hanky Everytime he needed to blow Now remember, Roy was the black sheep So he paid his mother no mind He just kept right on blowing his nose Til he thought he'd surely go blind So the next time you're on vacation And it starts to snow in june Remember this story I told you About the boy with the silver spoon
