Winter Time
Winter time is here again, the trees are all but bare
It’s time to don the scarves & boots, & warmer things to wear.
Bikini’s, shorts and summer tops, have all been packed away
They won’t see the light again, till next year’s summer’s day.
The kids get all excited, at this special time of year
They know that Santa’s coming, that’s when presents will appear.
Dress the Christmas trees with baubles, put the fairy on the top
Go & look at all the festive lights, as you do the Christmas shop.
The air outside gets colder, and the snow is all around
The animals all hibernate, some beneath the frozen ground.
The birds fly south for winter, they go to find a warmer place
But the robin, he remains here, he puts a smile upon our face.
Now winter time is beautiful, it’s crisp and clean but cold
And when there’s frost and ice about, it’s scary for the old.
Trying to walk on icy pavements, when conditions get this grim
The chance of falling just increases, you could easily break a limb.
And when the winter brings us Christmas, with all its festive cheer
Time to celebrate the season, maybe have ourselves a beer.
The family gets together, for the annual Christmas lunch
It’s the only time you see them, altogether as a bunch.
