Summer 2007 <br /> <br /> <br />Clouds full of rain, day after day <br />Hailstones and thunder and cries of dismay <br />We look forward to summer, through winters so grey <br />And now that it’s here, there’s all hell to pay. <br />Roads look like rivers, and people despair <br />Their houses are flooded, they’re living upstairs <br />Children are crying, it’s cold and it’s damp <br />And nothing is working, not even a lamp. <br /> <br />Farmlands are flooded, some crops will be lost <br />Wheat will be scarce and the bread won’t half cost <br />Last year the heat wave was too much to bear <br />Now a nice summer dress I’d just love to wear. <br />Travel companies are enjoying a boom <br />As off to the Med we all want to go soon <br />To escape from the days that make us feel glum <br />And enjoy a few weeks in the glorious sun.<br /><br />Jean Sheridan<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/summer-2007/
