Winter is here, the wind and the rain
the sleet and the snow can be a pain.
Kids with sledges, hats and gloves,
winter coats and warm ear muffs

Wellies, macs and snowmen too,
kids find plenty of things to do.
For me the winter can be a strain,
my car gets stuck and drives me insane.

Children love the hail and sleet
with the snow lying at their feet,
they have lots of snowball fights
and sledge down hills with such delight.

They love the winter more than me
and shake the snow from a tree,
throwing snow all about
you can see them jump and shout.

They don't care if it's cold you see,
running about the snow with glee.
Winter's a time to sledge and ski,
but that is really not for me
