The heat today took people by surprise.
Most still wore coats despite the baking sun,
No doubt because of recent rainy skies.
What a nice change this was for everyone.
Now we’re in flaming June, it shouldn’t stun
Us when the heat is considerable,
But here in Britain, specially Wimbledon,
The summer weather’s very flexible.
(Unlike our tennis players!) A big bowl
Of strawberries might please you, but no lies:
I don’t like fruit. But I do like to run
On summer hills, weather permissible.
Bad things about the summer? Sweat, and flies,
But what a time to travel and have fun.
