Seasonal revenge

Winds rattle the windows while babes are asleep; Cows traverse the fields through snow that's knee deep. Chickens are in the coup surrounded by straw, They are not alone in waiting for the thaw. Water pipes are frozen, power lines come down; Snowplows move back and forth through the snow locked town. Schools have been cancelled, kids skate on the ice; Many snowmen been built, each one's very nice. There be some that don't like all this stuff of white, Many have left the state by car or by flight. But that is nothing new, happens every year, And it is they'll return after springtime's here. And so the seasons go as the months roll by, Time waits for no one now and ne'er answers why. It's funny how it works, so precise, so neat, Yet some hating the cold also hate the heat.
