Q. Who wrote Sing a song of seasons! Something bright in all!
A. Robert Louis Stevenson (1850-1894)

Autumn Fires
In the other gardens And all up the vale,
From the autumn bonfires See the smoke trail!

Pleasant summer over And all the summer flowers,
The red fire blazes, The grey smoke towers.

Sing a song of seasons! Something bright in all!
Flowers in the summer, Fires in the fall! http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/autumn-fires/

After 60 years in retirement, the world's all-time number one graffiti subject, Mr. Chad, has been resurrected in England, while in the United States, where he was known as Kilroy, he may appear on a postage stamp. He's a funny little man with wide-open eyes and a huge U-shaped nose, peering over a wall. During World War II, this comical cartoon figure appeared in the most unlikely places around the world. In Britain and many other Commonwealth countries, Mr. Chad appeared on walls of buildings, on shop windows, and in newspaper cartoons. Below him were the words: WOT - no sugar? (or tea, or cigarettes, or whatever else was in short supply).
Mr. Chad was also known as Mr. Foo, Phoo, Flywheel, Clem, Private Snoops and The Jeep. After researching Mr. Chad's mysterious origin, Michael Quinion wrote in World Wide Words: "It is said that it was the invention of George Chatterton, a British cartoonist, about 1938. Mr. Chatterton’s nickname was Chat and the shift to Chad is easy to imagine." A year or two after Mr. Chad became a popular figure in Commonwealth countries, Americans serving in the armed forces adopted his image, renamed him Kilroy, and took him with them wherever they went. Instead of Wot, no sugar? the caption became Kilroy was here.
