Mr. Punch's Puzzles: The Riddle of the Week




Once, again, Mr. Punch, with my help, is offering up a true Victorian riddle.  The first person to answer correctly--by posting in the comments--will receive public congratulations.  

So, here's this week's riddle.  We ask that you don't Google the answer.  Mr. Punch would not find that sporting at all.  Give it a shot and see what you can come up with.  Here we go... No cheating...


    
In Spring I look gay,
     Deck'd in comely array,
In Summer more clothing I wear;
     When colder it grows,
     I fling off my clothes,
And in Winter quite naked

UPDATE:

And, the answer is...a tree.  Many thanks to everyone for playing, especially since this one was rather obvious.  You're all good sports!  Make sure to come back next Friday for another of Mr. Punch's Puzzles.

Mr. Punch wants you to always know “the way to do it,” so why not check out our “That’s the way to do it!” products which are available only at our online store.

Could it be the late Big Tex? Just saw that online. Strange.

Ha! Clever! Too bad he didn't burn down instead of Big Tex. Why do the robotic effigies always suffer?
