The weather girl is cheerful and smiling <br />as she tells us it's rain yet again <br />the U.K.will be wet all of the week <br />but the neighbours don't care, their off to Spain. <br />But when your skint what does it matter <br />when you can't afford even a day trip <br />the nearest you'll get to Sun, Sea, and Sand, <br />is dreaming about it when your having a kip. <br />Still never mind you've got lots of jobs to do <br />while everyone is abroad in the blazing Sun <br />there's painting the walls and the ceiling <br />watching it dry is always so much fun. <br />And there amongst all the pile of bills <br />are postcards all shiny and lying on the mat <br />there's one from the neighbours in sunny Spain <br />and a couple from my mate who's gone to Montserrat. <br />Your looking at people stood in front of Palm Trees <br />another one of a beautiful bright Blue sea <br />but your stuck at home with a paint brush in hand <br />and you've just received bills for Gas and Electricity. <br />Still at least your not suffering with Sunburn <br />and you've not got a nasty tropical disease <br />so therefore your skin isn't flaky or peeling off <br />due to temperatures exceeding One Hundred Degrees. <br />SO yes our weather can be dreadful and miserable <br />and it can get you down and leave you feeling low <br />but look that pretty weather girl is on the telly <br />and she's smiling as she tells us it's going to snow!<br /><br />Kevin Halls<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/the-pretty-weather-girl/
