Just around the corner.

 

Summer's just around the corner, waiting for its turn.

​

As soon as spring has had it’s play, we’ll feel the sunshine burn.

​

But something’s causing quite a stir before the spring is sprung,

​

the strong winds blow in from the north - the winter’s not yet done.

​

It’s snowy,  wet,  and cold to boot,  despite our moans and groans;

​

and there’s no sign of summers warmth, to ease our weary bones.

​

I’ve put back on those 'clouts' I shed, no doubt cast off to soon,

​

for just a week or so ago, it seemed like blooming June.

​

But  keep  in  mind  not  long  from now ,

​

for then we'll all be sweltering,

​

For when it gets to

​

much to bare,

​

from ‘it’

​

we'll

​

all

​

be

​

sheltering.
