Roll on Summer

(Picture Credit - Long Wallpapers)

My “Daffies” and Bluebells are budding now.

Maybe my Crocuses too.

Roll on Summer is what I say,

Clichéd though that may be.

No more dark dreary “days”,

With biting icy winds.

No more freezing fog

Or fretful snow.

Let’s have glorious sunshine

Bathing all our land.

Ice cream and holidays,

Leisure and luxurious slumbers.

Those Daffodils will be history by “Flaming June”

And with that “roll” will come the “rock”

Of sugar seaside sticks

With dancing music.

Oh to bring back Rock and Roll,

So we can do it again

Down on the beach

Where children ride on donkeys

While dogs frolic on the sands.

To play football again,

Jumpers for goal posts

On lush green grass.

Sunny summer.

Bring it on.
