Deceitful Maid

Spring thou doest deceive me. You come with warm kisses and budding flowers, 
Yet at night you let your icy cousin in, 
He ravages the buds and threatens the seed. 
How duplicitous are you! Such a misdeed! 

 You take your time to decide our fate, 
Will summer I give or hinder? 
Will rains I withhold or plunder? Will my cousin winter I keep, 
 No! Perhaps in summer, oh! 
The decisions I hate. 

 How fickle are you petulant puss, Immature girl! 
 Grow up! I say and be true to your truss! 
Stay mild in between and find your own. 
 What is wrong with mild? 
Decide mild for this town. 

 Oh give me autumn, a more mature child, 
She decides to defrock right down to the bone. 
Bold colours she gives, liquid gold!
A sweet season that lingers, one summer cannot hold.
