Ho-hum winter's packing to go As it displays it's last show, Snow lies lightly on the ground With ice sheets spread 'round. Tedious winter will soon set sail Taking with it howling gales, Into oblivion it will sail away Carrying onboard dark drab days. Wearisome winter's mostly through With icy mornings of frozen dew Clinging to blades of brown grass Like teardrops of crystal glass. Old man winter's almost finished The drumming rain has diminished, There's a sense of change underway As sluggish winter sails away. A little more ice , a little more snow A few nights of storms that blow, Then dreary winter will be done, And we'll see a little more sun. The short nights are becoming longer Our faded spirits are getting stronger, We patiently await the dawn of spring And the wonderland it'll bring. The waning winter makes us glad indeed. The coming spring sows happiness seed, Soon springtime sun will warm smiling faces As winter's shivery cold it softly replaces.
