Introduction

Today has not been so much "Four Seasons In One Day" as "Four Seasons At The Same Time"

The music is "Howling Wind" by the incredible Graham Parker and the Rumour

This Howling Wind

πŸŒ§οΈπŸŒŠπŸ’¦β›ˆοΈβ˜€οΈπŸŒ©οΈβ„οΈπŸŒͺοΈπŸ’§πŸŒ€

The Wind Is Howling, Blowing A Gale

Biting Cold, Hits Skin Like A Razor

Sun Shines Brightly, But We're Hit With Hail

Bins Blown Over, Garden Fences Fail

Four Seasons Happening Together

The Wind Is Howling, Blowing A Gale

The Weather Today's Weaving A Tale

'Tis An Elemental Destroyer

Sun Shines Brightly, But We're Hit With Hail

β›ˆοΈβ˜€οΈπŸŒ©οΈ

Up In The Air Detritus Does Sail

Swirling Above Us, 'Twill Fall Later

The Wind Is Howling, Blowing A Gale

Sky Is Dark Like A Funeral Veil

Thunder And Lightning, Like A Laser

Sun Shines Brightly, But We're Hit With Hail

Stay Inside, You're Safe To Tell The Tale

Now Close The Windows And Shut Your Door

The Wind Is Howling, Blowing A Gale

Sun Shines Brightly, But We're Hit With Hail

    Sky is dark like a funeral veil. That was my favourite line! Loved your Villanelle!
