Here comes winter

And so we stop and we sigh
And say "Here comes winter"
And rejoice in tiny green shoots of grass
Because summer is lovely
And though we will miss it
We're still slightly happy that it doesn't last

So bring out the jumpers, the beanies and scarves!
Warm winter jackets and stockings and socks,
Turn on the heating and bring out the blankets,
Inside is nicer when outside is frost.

Let the rain fall down
'Cause our gardens need it
And we're not quite sorry for the end of the dust
But let winter be wary
For though we do greet it
We won't put up with it for longer than we must
