WINTER IS THE TIME FOR YOUTH 605

                                                        WINTER IS THE TIME FOR YOUTH  605

                                          Winter is the time for youth
                                          They view not this season
                                          As common or uncouth
                                          But believe with all their hearts
                                          That this blustery winter season
                                          Was 'specially created just for them
                                               
                                          Now while winter with its bitter cold
                                          May not be pleasurable for those grown old
                                          For winter truly is the time for youth
                                          Or so we've been told
                                          By little ones with frost-bitten toes
                                          And tiny cherry cheeks and ruddy nose
                                        
                                           So, we take it for the truth
                                          With great veracity after all                                                                                 Winter is the time for youth
                                           So, go have yourself a (snow) ball
