Sometimes it snows in April
And this year it did just that
We wondered where Spring was
It was the theme of many a chat
In Ireland cattle were starving
Grass grows if the sun shines
People who could afford it
were off to sunnier climbs
Sometimes it snows in April
It was a day I'll never forget
off to do some photocopying
for a day in court I'll soon get.
Our children have had more days in
when they should have been outside
But Summer's round the corner
So Sun start shining, not a time to hide
We've been patient while we've waited
It's been a source of talk
But Spring and Summer are meant to be
A time to get outside and walk
Don't worry Spring
You're forgiven
We don't hold grudges round here
But make sure it's the last time
We don't want a repeat next year!

That's brilliant - and only took you fifteen minutes. This brought a big smile to my face. Thank you for linking up! X.
ReplyDeleteI've spent the whole day wondering what you mean by that?
DeleteSnow makes you smile? or something I said? ;-)

The best poems are spontaneous. Loving the spring poems in the Linky x.
ReplyDeleteThanks :-) x
DeleteWell done you...took me ages to write my little post and I was not even being poetic! Prefer the pictures really :) Great poem and unfortunately very true!
ReplyDeleteMy husband used to act (Shakespeare) and he says it "does not scan"... meaning the rhythm is all off.
DeleteI was sad when he said it but (1) I like it and (2) I wrote it in 15 minutes FFS!

I love the way you can tell that a whole heap of stories lie between the chosen words.
ReplyDeleteThank you and that is so so true x
