winter ...

The thing about winter
is that it is cold ...
when I was younger
I used to enjoy winter to a certain degree

but now that I am older
I fail to see the reason
for it ...
it is much too cold to be pleasant out
you see people scurry quickly by
hoping to get to their destinations
as quickly as possible
so that they are able to warm their bodies up

winter, complete with snow ...
there are more accidents
with those driving in the snow
the roads are slippery
and when the snow is falling
the visibility is lessened

people complain all the time
about driving in the snow
something that I do not have to worry about just yet
for it will be a while
before I am able to drive again
if ever ...

winter, what was the reason again ...
I seem to have forgotten
someone once told me
that it was for the fields to rest
but what about tropical countries
where they have no snow or winter
they still grow things year round ...

hmmmm winter!!!! sighhhhhhhhhhh ....
