Australia - The Summer Of 2016 Poem by Paul Warren

Do you think there will be a summer this year
Will the beach be rain swept and cold - oh dear!
Will I get out of my long trousers and into shorts
And will my sunglasses gather dust out of sorts

It is with sadness I think about Australian cricket
But then it's so cold no one will see the loss of wickets
Perhaps it because of global warning and the carbon
That is doing all the weather and the harmin'

But all those years when it was hot as Hades
There must be some years when there is rain on our parades
But there is time to change the call for the Summer Sun
And the second half of the season will be hot and fun!
