Reasons For Seasons

Well hello Summer, chill a spell

As last year you were hot as hell

Been waiting for your longer days

So we can play in outdoor ways

There’s barbeques and volleyball

And countless things to please us all

It's into shorts and no more sleeves

‘Til you give way to falling leaves

Now hey there Autumn, grab a chair

It won’t be long ‘til limbs are bare

You colorize our many trees

While sending us a cooler breeze

The falling temps are here to warn

It’s first semester, students mourn

You hasten now the setting sun

By Labor Day your almost done

Hey freezing Winter, glad you’re here

When spring arrives you’ll disappear

Please cap our mountains under snow

So when it melts our rivers flow

The nights are long, the days are short

You’re vital for the ski resort

You open up with Christmas cheer

Then usher in a brand new year

So what’s up Spring, we’re setting sails

Your warm winds bring refreshing gales

And since you represent new life

You also mitigate our strife

Thunderstorms and steady showers

Dress our fields in brilliant flowers

You're almost perfect, things are green

Not hot or cold, just in between
