Time to Go

 It was a cool day in autumn
 When old man winter dropped by
 He told Autumn, "It's time to go." 
 For my north wind is ready to blow

 So Autumn packed his bags with a sigh
 As old man winter shooed him away
 Then snowflakes swirled from the sky
 To start his wintry stay

 So the north winds blew
 and the snowstorms came
 icicles formed on window sills too
 On the trees, they did the same

 But soon enough, Spring dropped in
 She told old man winter he had to go
 He thought he had more cold spells to spin
 But she dismissed him to let the flowers grow
