Sitting indoors it’s quite obvious
That it would be more than appreciated
If a little warmth greeted us
And took the edge off this weather,
Which,
To its credit,
Isn’t doing anything unexpected,
Not in this country anyway,
But has so far been inconsistent
In its dealings with this year’s seasons:
Refusing to ship water in winter,
For instance,
Causing inches
Of topsoil to be spoiled in the process,
And hosepipe bans to be handed out,
And then slinging buckets of the stuff
At spring’s rough exterior
Bringing floods and washouts,
But an end
To the drought
When they said it was without one.
And as per usual May came running
And brought us our annual summer,
Or the one week of heat that’s
Masqueraded as such recently,
And right
On time
Flaming June is wet and gloomy
And expected to herald autumn soon.
