'Summer'

Through whitest clouds and skies of blue,

light warming breezes spread the news

- the Queen of Summer's passing through.

Most grown-ups take a holiday,

our children go outside to play,

the sun shines bright all through the day.

Streets display their hanging baskets,

people wear bright-coloured outfits,

bands march past with drums & trumpets.

A host of summer blooms appear,

the shouts go out 'She's here! She's here!'

Straw-boaters wave & people cheer.

We photograph these grand events,

long winter nights are often spent

cherishing days of merriment.
