The air is cold with skies of multi-grays
as snowflakes fall and paint a wintry scene.
I think of summer warmth and fun-filled days;
yet many winter days must pass between.

But not for me!  You see I have a trick!
This brand-new world of magic works for me
to visit summer resorts, here to pick 
within my  v i r t u a l  r e a l i t y.

Here on a beach where lifeguards flirt and wink
as gentle waves come rolling at my feet,
and handsome waiters offer me a drink-
I so enjoy my tropical retreat.

So let it snow!  I'll visit where there's sun-
switch winter blahs to magic summer fun!
