My Winter

So many people rave on about summer To me this couldn’t be dumber Winter is the time for me A time where I feel truly comfortable and free Winter is great sleeping weather Either alone or embracing together There is no season that is better Some like it dry I like it wetter My troubles get washed away with the rain Swept away like the winter leaves down the drain A time where I feel less pain A time where I feel slightly less insane With considerable rain comes a departure of the water restriction One can bathe without fear of conviction In summer people smell and sweat Less likely in winter because it’s cold and wet Winter starts on the 1st of June With the darker winter nights comes a brighter moon The sounds of the rain and wind at night The pound of thunder accompanied by sparks of light When it’s cold you can put on a beanie or an extra top If it’s hot there are only so many layers you can strip before you must stop Winter is a time for rain, hail and snow A time when the weeds slowly grow In winter there are less flies, rodents and ants In winter I can feel comfortable wearing pants In winter termites are less active or even dormant Good for us but for them a bad predicament Winter is a great time for a hot drink And an excellent time to head to the ice rink In winter you can hug without feeling sticky Being intimate when it is hot can be quite tricky A drink stays cold so you don’t need to add ice In winter you can have a hot curry with rice In winter football is played Birds migrate and eggs are laid You lay beside a warm fire And drink red wine or whatever you desire There’s nothing finer than a warm home cooked dinner In winter you are less concerned about being thinner You may get a little cough or sneeze And you may see images like these Children playing in a puddle A loving couple having a cuddle Winter colours can be dark but also bright Like when water turns to snow it appears white The sparkling of stars at night The fallen leaves with the wind in flight Winter is most definitely the best of the four seasons This has been proven with so many reasons
