Apr\u00e8s Nous, le D\u00e9luge

\nIt won’t be long until we’re underwater,
\nThese Summer showers are interspersed with rain.
\nThe English weather won’t do what it ought’a
\nThere’s too much rain too gurgle down the drain.<\/p>\n
A thunderstorm can be a pleasant feature
\nWhen temperatures climb higher than you like
\nBut constant rain depresses every creature
\nThat’s any less aquatic than a pike.<\/p>\n
What’s happened to the balmy days of Summer,
\nWhich made a life much easier to take?
\nI look around at colleagues growing glummer
\nAs parks and streets become one muddy lake.<\/p>\n
The lowering clouds have washed our smiles away
\nNow every cricket card says “Rain Stopped Play”<\/p>\n
Author notes
\nThe South East of England had the whole of June’s average rainfall in the last
\n18 hours, it isn’t forecast to stop any time soon.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
