Grumpy Year

Grumpy Year.

January, thick with snow,

Can’t get out. Nowhere to go.

February, cold, pouring rain

Stuck inside the house again.

March, walking over hills and vales

Push the wheelchair freezing gales.

April brings the gentle showers

But they go on for hours and hours.

May, little birdies learn to fly,

Through clouds of midges in the sky

June, flowers bloom en mass

And cricket balls through greenhouse glass.

July, paddle in the  sea.

Freezing water and sand in tea.

August, burning barbecues, wine in jugs

Covered in wasps and other bugs.

September, brings a fruit surprise

Can’t get in the fridge for apple pies.

October, all the leaves are turning brown,

Most of the sites  are shutting down.

November, burning fire wood makes a pong,

Bangs and rockets all month long.

December, Christmas shopping in sleet and rain

Long, cold, dark nights and then…….

 

It’s bloody January again
