The flowers that bloom in the springtime–hotcha!
If the backache hasn’t, the blisters have gotcha.

Poems about the seasons
The flowers that bloom in the springtime–hotcha!
If the backache hasn’t, the blisters have gotcha.

The winter stands in silence now,
His white scarf pulled about his throat,
And contemplates , with furrowed brow,
His sparkling ermine overcoat.
The hungry sparrow chirps protest
Upon the callous icy air,
And l ongs for summer, when the best
Was always on his Bill-of-fare.
I know what his forlornness means,
For as the bitter days go by,
I’d give the winter’s choicest scenes
For one small yellow butterfly.
