Welcome Winter

The winds are chilly, extremely cold
More than you can try and hold.
Curl up tight in your blanket, all!
The season of winter has fall! 

No more pleasant walk to the station.
After all, winter’s gripping the nation. 
No more drinking fizzy cold drinks!
That is what winter brings! 

But you still have things to do
Like paying a visit to your local zoo.
I know you might think it’s foolish
Then go on a holiday to wherever you wish! 

And the best thing to fight off winter’s hug
Is warm brewed hot chocolate in a mug.
Sweater, scarves, home-made jumpers
Imagine winning them in a single hamper. 

Ok, ok please don’t yell.
I am coming to the best part to tell.
After all, when Santa gifts
Every child’s heart hopefully lifts.

Fruitcake and homemade cookies!
There’s so much to eat in the gentle breeze! 
As, here comes the Festival King,
‘Jingle Bells!’ Let’s all sing! 

Oh, someone please tell me: 
Why isn’t there Christmas every week?
Christmas trees (those decorated pine ones) ,
Oh, thinking about it makes me dance! 

After that we would welcome
A brand new year that is to come.
Send your friend a ‘New Years’ card
After all, it’s not so hard. 

Now our school will reopen,
Our hands will hold the pens.
And mutter the word ‘revision’, 
The enemy who is to be done.

After all, within some weeks,
Studies will reach their highest peak. 
The time to test our one year knowledge; 
The exams are already near the edge.

Do you remember the uses of charcoal?
Or what part of speech is the word ‘shoal’.
If yes, then good, you’ve done really nice.
If no, then the worst, you’ve got to pay the price. 

But, after exams, the work is done,
Stands ahead fun and fun.
But you’ll have to wait till the next winter.
And relive the fun of 25th December.

Of course you won't get to enjoy Christmas today unless it is 25th December today (Comment if you are reading this on Christmas Day 😁), but you can brighten your day a bit by reading this poem!
