A WARNING

The man who named the seasons had
A rather misty mind
Or else he a larky lad
OF most sarcastic kind
The season when our knees weak
This hnd dadP simPl wltb as his 5TiEs t6nEge in cheek
penominates the Spring,
And later. when the crispy skies

II Ger We meet and I'm awake.
He'll get a welcome grim,
I'll spring" upon his neck and take
A fall right out Of him
