The British Summer: in London

THREE days of heat
turn a city of concrete
into a stifling and sizzling
furnace; with people complaining
about the never ending heat!

FOUR days of rain follow
and their comments so hollow:
argue that it does "nothing but rain";
oh dear: What a forgetful brain!

NOW the nights are drawing in
and the shouts do begin:
"double summertime now:
we will never bow
to the constraints of universe!"
"What phallacy", I say: "just live
and enjoy what we are given!"
