                                      Today is cold but the clouds are clear
                                      Ready to please and work if asked
                                      All is good, the trees bare, but beautiful
                                      Fun to be had if you look
                                      Fair weather, but mild
                                      If you want some fun, just relax
                                      Cold, but dry, maybe plants need water

                                      Carrying around burdens is no fun, so dump them
                                      Our life may be dull, but you can still have fun
                                      Now is time to get ready for planting
                                      Everybody loves the sunshine.
