It’s the 29^th of the first 15 and we have the first snow fall

Does this mean that the world is getting warmer?

Or is this just part of the cyclical pattern?

The British winter has gone from cold to very wet

I haven’t heard an argument that makes sense yet

The predicted Mediterranean climate hasn’t happened yet

No long hot summers and balmy winters

Just long wet winters and mediocre summers

I know it’s very selfish but I would love a Mediterranean climate

I’m fed up with these long wet winters

And the all too brief summers

I want long hot sweaty summers

Short cold winters with snow and frost

I want my childhood back when summer was long

I want winters with snowdrifts and frozen ponds

Roads that are impassable for weeks not hours

I want to be able to use my sledge

It was a 60^th birthday present and I was so pleased

Give me the chance to use it

Too any obscure god I plead
