Oh not to be in England <br />Now that May is here. <br />The sky all day <br />Has been cold and grey, <br />And it has rained since Saturday. <br />The chaffinch sits hunched <br />On the orchard bough <br />Bedraggled and sodden and dumb <br />While the whitethroat like <br />The swallow wonders <br />What folly made it come. <br />As for the wise thrush.... <br />It doesn’t give a damn what you think; <br />Like me, it’s pissed off with this sodding weather.<br /><br />Pete Crowther<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/home-thoughts-from-a-broad/
