Bring back British Summer

Andrew Green Poetry August 8, 2018 1 Minute

Let’s get out of Europe

We can’t take the heat

It’s OK for a fortnight

But now it’s got us beat.

Stop it at the border

Keep the weather out

Too hot for the English

Not what we’re about.

Jet stream out of Europe

What’s it coming to?

Sweeps across the country

Who asked me and you?

Keep your foreign weather

Leave us well alone

We don’t want your sunshine

We prefer our own.

Bring us clouds and rain again

Chance of a good moan

Hateful British weather

That we can call our own.

Weather of our choosing

Give us back control

Foreign interference

Don’t want that at all.

I saw in the news here that Hyde Park grass was burnt to a crisp. Never in my life did I ever see it like that!

  Absolutely – we grow our own fruit and veg and are struggling to keep it alive – but this is also a satire about Brexit.

    Yes that didn’t get by me! I’ll be there in a few weeks so I’ll get the pulse!

This did make me laugh (love the Brexit undertones)
