Lazy Summer Day
Lazy Summer Day
Forget the beads of sweat running down your face
The thousands of pests that occasionally invade your space,
The salty stinging sensation in your eyes
Just enjoy this weather and the weathermans lies.
Its only the sun we crave when we go abroad
Close your eyes, relax and totally absorb
Now i'm no sun slave, although this poem may deceive
I shall always use sun block...or i'll burn...and eventually peel!
As i try to relax and survey for my pollinators to save the worlds bees, the ozone layer and Amazons trees,
Amidst the peace a bee tentatively circles the lavender
But whats that noise, the bee is distracted.....
Its Geoff next door with his orbital sander!
The nearby sound of a remote control car
Not a child in sight but two men in their fifties is quite bizarre,
A nosey neighbour is out and pretends to polish car lights
Investigating the noise and this curious site!
Our first decent summer in over 3 years
The ice cream arrives selling its wares,
'If you go down to the woods today' or 'Match of the day' calls
As the rush gathers pace for 99s and screwballs!
Lets have a coke and a smile and enjoy the large current bun,
Have a read, do a puzzle
For soon we"ll be grumbling,
With the arrival of Autumn!
