Swoosh!

Summer was camped out over the land.
At night, when he was resting, Winter
crept in, furtively, retreating when his rival woke.

Finally, Summer had enough of his toes
being frostbitten in his sleep
Yesterday he stood up in a huff,
Put on his great dusty coat
and swooshed out of town.

Today the wind still swirls
while Winter, grinning, peers over the mountain.
