Graeme Williams Biography

I currently teach religious education at a secondary school here in the UK. Before training as a teacher I was a Franciscan Friar with SSF, worked in a high security mental hospital, was a verger at Liverpool Cathedral, ran a conference and training centre for the Diocese of Exeter, and was an on-line book dealer. I have recently got into writing poetry and find it quite addictive. I enjoy the discipline of working to a particular form and love trying new forms.)

The Best Poem Of Graeme Williams

The Weather's Wet!

The weather's wet, and skies are grey,
I wish I could just stay in bed,
But I must go to work today,

I'm safe beneath the warm duvet,
Not thinking ‘bout the day ahead,
The weather's wet, and skies are grey,

If only I could stay away,
I'd rather be at home instead,
But I must go to work today,

'Get up, get out, and earn your pay! '
A little voice screams in my head.
The weather's wet, and skies are grey,

A normal British summer's day,
With forecasts of more rain ahead,
But I must go to work today,

I wish there were another way,
In which to earn my daily bread,
The weather's wet, and skies are grey,
But I must go to work today.
