Summer Lost! (Bill’s lament)
Oh dear, summer quietly slipped away,
Un-noticed, disappointing, I say.
I have waited and waited in vain,
Totally over the cold and rain!
Where did warm February days hide?
It’s windy, wet and so cold outside.
Warm summer evenings in the sun,
Deceased, before they’d even begun.
No more outside barbecues with friends.
Just one more week and this summer ends!
I check the BoM both night and morning
But all I get is one more warning!
Yep, autumn is definitely here,
And it’s become abundantly clear
Summer clothes must be stored away,
I must reach for my warm clothes today.
Maybe, those warm days will come again,
After these gloomy days of wind and rain.
