At long last summer is here,
Time to lounge in the garden
And then have a beer.
My porch is boiling,
Have opened my front door.
No more Winter toiling,
This sun I do adore.
The bees are busy buzzing,
They’ve got a lot to do.
Those flowers they still are budding,
And there’s a lazy-rhyme for you.
Ready for your mid-year hollies?
You bet I am, you say.
Ice cream and lollies,
You’ll soon be on your way.
The beach will sure get busy,
No parking on the prom.
Lemonade so fizzy,
Going down like a bomb.
Great time for walking,
Out in the countryside.
Lots of time for talking
Or going for a ride.
My favourite cove awaits me.
A time to really chill out.
It really will be stress-free,
Time to have a scout.
Yes I really love summer,
That’s all I have to say.
Time to be a newcomer:
I’m on my way.
Paul Butters
Summertime...!!!!!
