O! Those lovely days of summer
When winters are astray!
The Sun shining high and bright
On the cheerful summer day!
Birds chirping louder and louder,
Carpet of leaves settled on the way!
Joy and enthusiasm is everywhere
Till winter's far away.

But time passes, it always does...
And the wicked old winter has to come!
It's not my fear of cold and fever
I am but a strong believer,
Of the fact that this vicious weather
Has powers to make us lazy and weaker.
It pulls away all strength and joy
From us smart young men,
And who knows what may be
Its next evil plan?!

The young innocents like us are always her prey!
Elders may call it exaggeration
But they'll never know the pain
Of waking up for school;
Oh! It drives all joy away!
Under a cruel eye out worn,
The young ones spend the day.
And then I drooping sit
For many an anxious hour,
Where nor in my book can I find pleasure;
Nor sit in learning's bower.

I'm telling you once and once again:
The evil is rising! We have to fight against!
For now I can't think of a better idea
To look forward to
But...umm...Ministry of Education?
How about a Winter Vacation too?
