SEASONS

SEASONS

The world and all its seasons

Is truly an amazing thing.

We've had a nuclear winter

And even an Arab spring.

Music lost Donna Summer,

We can’t now hear her sing.

Or, Hayward’s forever autumn

With leaves in fall, falling.

**

We've a season to be cheerful

Let the church bells ring.

Women also have their own season,

With models parading new clothing.

Fish and chips get in on the action,

With salt and vinegar, our favourite seasoning.

We’re fast approaching hay fever season,

Oh, how my nose will sting.

**

We've football, fishing and cricket seasons

And a few that I've forgot.

But, there’s one that grouse would want us to forget,

It’s the one when they get shot.
