We swelter briefly in harsh sun
Then comes the rain and torrents run
Down ageing roofs and cellars flood
So, firemen have to pump out mud!
Meanwhile, in Sicily there’s drought
Crops fail and reservoirs give out
Now farmers have to order feed
With water rationing decreed!
Climate change seems here to stay
Extremes - the order of the day
Why travel South to burn and fry
With the North Sea so close by?
A cool breeze blows through terrace door …
Nature thrives on woodland floor
Here, it rains a lot, but still
Wild flowers give our bees a thrill!
