Summary: Summer is just too much of a wearying bore

I do not want to apricate in this season anymore
Summer is just too much of a wearying bore
I have no figure that could be fit for the beach
And for a "healthy" tan I simply refuse to reach
And, anyway, I do not tan; I just burn and peel
So back to the cool indoors I always readily steal
The heat is a thing I swear I do not need
Let us call my lovely winter back with all speed
If on this season I could cast a spell
I'd send summer right down the Well to Hell
