Feel The Need, Winter
Feel the need Winter
Don`t you feel the need
To retire now and leave? ,
Staying longer is just pure greed.

Your work is done
So long you stayed,
Such a high achiever
You made the grade.

Chilly nights and overcoats
Scarves still wrapped
Around our throats,
Frozen toes and iced up fingers
Much joy you gain while this still lingers.

Confused birds,
Will they, won`t they, build a nest
Feathers dithering here and there
You`ve really put them to a test.

Feel the need Winter
Please feel the need today,
Let Spring take over
Pack up and go, quietly slip away.
