Climatic Sorcery

When frost's all on our winder, an' the snow's
  All out-o'-doors, our "Old-Kriss"-milkman goes
  A-drivin' round, ist purt'-nigh froze to death,
  With his old white mustache froze full o' breath.

  But when it's summer an' all warm ag'in,
  He comes a-whistlin' an' a-drivin in
  Our alley, 'thout no coat on, ner ain't cold,
  Ner his mustache ain't white, ner he ain't old.
