BRUTAL COLD DAY EARLY FEBUARY 
Almost as cold as the week before
Six feet of snow fell late in January 
Please Mr. Winter, let it snow- No more  

BEAUTIFUL COLORED DAISYS EMERGE FREQUENTLY 
Mostly throughout the season of spring
When most everything is green- completely 
When eggshells break and birdies sing 

BEACH CARNIVALS DELIGHTFUL ENJOYABLE FUN 
Young ones playing games outside 
Sunbathers tanning 'neath the sun 
A nice time for a summertime ride 

BEAR CUBS DIE EVERY FALL 
I found one dead out on my range 
One died last year too, if I do recall 
Must be something to do with climate change
