Roy Pett Poet Rhyme

Uk Closed

Winter has returned 
snow is on it’s way
everyone concerned 
ready for crippling delay,

trains delayed some can’t run
planes are grounded
schools close, kids have fun
Other countries are dumbfounded 

our islands not alike the rest
any inclement weather it will close
it’s called beast from the west
just because cold wind blows,

Scandinavia we need answers 
how can Britain carry on going
to acquire your country’s standards 
until this chilly wind stops blowing.

Jan Allison March 5, 2018 at 11:23 AM We've had snow which closed the schools then storm Emma blazed in and left a trail of destruction across our little island and the infrastructure here and in the UK just can't seem to cope with inclement weather like this:-( glad you are ok roy:-) hugs Jan xx Roy Pett March 5, 2018 at 2:37 PM We are counting our blessings here in Leicestershire as we got very little snow but the icy wind was unbearable, I feel so sorry for people that are even today still have no power and now flooding to look forward to. :(

Paul Callus March 1, 2018 at 12:05 PM I have been reading about the cold and snow in several parts of England, Roy. I would have thought that such weather would not have been a problem for England....would have been understandable had it been a heatwave:) Regards // paul Roy Pett March 1, 2018 at 1:27 PM Thanks Paul, unfortunately we have had red warnings in parts which mean do not travel, hundreds of schools are closed, people stranded on main motorways over night, aircraft are grounded, trains are cancelled, power stations are at critical levels, we have forgotten how to cope with extreme weather, thanks again for your support much appreciated. :))

Silent One February 28, 2018 at 8:45 AM I think because we do not get it regularly, but it is more of an occurrence now, so surely the GVOT should be better prepared.. Roy Pett February 28, 2018 at 9:17 AM Totally agree, we can’t afford to allow so much disruption.

Silent One February 28, 2018 at 8:19 AM I am always shocked when we struggle in the UK.. Have been lucky where we are in the East midlands.. Roy Pett February 28, 2018 at 8:29 AM Thanks S O, hardly any snow here in Leicestershire but the wind is horrendous, what gets me is with satellite forecasting why can’t the authorities be prepared? thanks again for your support. :))

Andrea Dietrich February 27, 2018 at 3:24 PM Oh, I am so glad not to be part of that!! We got a tiny blizzard ourselves here in Utah on several days ago. It was awful!! I am so thankful that typically our winter this year has been better than usual!! Roy Pett February 27, 2018 at 4:35 PM Thanks Andrea, it just seems that as soon as we get some inclement weather our transport services come to a holt, where other countries such as the Scandinavian Countries have worse and they seem to cope, thanks for your comment on my rant, really appreciated. :))

Tom Cunningham February 27, 2018 at 11:11 AM We have missed out again in Worcestershire, surrounded by hills has it's benefits, I'm not complaining though. Hope its not too bad where you are. Great verse Roy. Roy Pett February 27, 2018 at 12:25 PM Thanks Tom, we were expecting more than we have had, hope this is not the calm before the storm, thanks again for your support much appreciated. :))

Heidi Sands February 27, 2018 at 8:50 AM Interesting poem Roy. Well done :) Roy Pett February 27, 2018 at 9:26 AM Thanks Heidi, I don’t know how severe the weather is were you live but it seems like a few flakes of snow here and everything stops! Thanks again for your support much appreciated. :))
