When screens are blank and days are dull
And we’re still in pre-school lull
I see dark rainclouds scudding through;
Above me, trees have burnished hue…
What heat we had has now abated
Traffic gets more syncopated
Appointments come in thick and fast
With deadlines fixed for each new task.
It’s a challenge now to park the car
Sometimes the walk home is far
Suntanned neighbours say hello
Their smiling faces all aglow!
Peace still pervades, but I suspect
More busy-ness on Internet;
September means a brand-new term
Nose to the grindstone – more to learn!
