Mischief

My whirligigs are whirling
Since the wind has come to call
And my windsocks’ arms are twirling
Like they’re gearing for a brawl.

The temperature is dropping 
Back to wintertime degrees
And the gusts will not be stopping
‘Til we all begin to freeze.

Mother Nature is enjoying
Making mischief these days; hence,
‘Tween the seasons we’ll be buoying
As she laughs at our expense.
