Springing To Conclusions
Yes, I've heard your little rumour...
You saying Spring is here!
Yet such fantasies I humour,
In February, my dear!
The little sparrows are freezing...
My central heating's on,
With my monthly costs increasing,
My money's up and gone!
I've got my hoodie on my head!
With thermals head-to-toe...
I've got new duvets on my bed
As I toss to-and-fro...
So all your rumours you can keep!
No matter where you live!
I know that Spring has yet to leap,
So rumours I forgive...
When Valentine's Day is history
And March approaches fast,
That's when I sense the mystery,
For Spring has come at last!
That's when the daffodils spring forth
In gardens far and wide,
From east to west, from south to north,
And Winter's truly died!
