I Am Tired

I am tired of summer.
Loose outside, summer leaves me. 
Outside and indoor I sweat like a fish.
I cannot wait when winter comes.
 
Winter knocks at my door,
And my windows tight I bolt.
Doors fastened for change I need,
Craving to stay indoor as it was lockdown; 
Lockdown due to a virus.

Neither winter, nor summer 
Can satisfy men and women.
Woman cooks food, I need to drink.
A drink she offers, I want to slumber.
All the three available, the desire changes.
