Winter has hijacked the weather it seems, It's April and spring hasn't sprung, By now dark days were a thing of the past, Perversely this year they have clung, Most mornings we waken and rise to false dawns, The sun giving off little heat, Odd patches of blue dot a murk-muddled sky, And the daffodils seem in retreat, The temperatures they are unseasonably low, No leaves are attaching to trees, The rain it is heavy whenever it falls, And inevitably there's a sharp breeze, If spring should fail please hasten June, For summer cannot come too soon.
