Winter Ebbs

Winter’s fading, more sun shine.
But snow starts falling.
River freezes with a wet line.

Snow falls straight as a plumbline.
Tracks in the street, engines stalling.
Winter’s fading, more sun shine.

Citizens watch as they dine.
Birds return and start calling.
River freezes with a wet line.

Cars stuck in the midline.
Trucks with salt start hauling.
Winter’s fading, more sunshine

Some say this time is fine.
Others start their bawling.
River freezes with a wet line.

Time to drink warm wine
When the weather’s squalling.
Winter’s fading, more sun shine.
River freezes with a wet line.
