Blue sky Monday, radiant sun!
Time to get some housework done
The windowpanes need a strong wipe
Exhausting - but we need more light!
I empty buckets, rest a while…
Maintaining my house is a trial,
It’s picturesque, at woodland’s edge
Nature’s largesse - wee birds fledge…
Alas, with constant dripping rain
Spring this year has been a strain…
Gold dandelions with nettles fight
While puddles laced with ferns delight.
The world’s in turmoil – Man can’t cope;
War zones from us quite remote
Present themselves on TV screens
And global warming haunts our dreams.
A public holiday - for some
Though local supermarkets hum
Once holy day, with churches full;
Now Mammon has the greater pull!
