The winter of 2012-13
Goes on and on and on,
We should be picking daffodils
But we’re putting snow shoes on.
There’s a whiteout on the Pennines
And it’s the end of March
When we should be seeing leaf buds
On the Sycamore and Larch.
It started in November,
Cold took our breath away,
And right from then til Easter,
I wore wellies every day.
The dogs think that its wondrous,
They’ve developed snow plough noses,
But we are bloody freezing
From our noses to our toeses!
I’m weary of this winter,
I just want it to go,
By every time I’m hopeful
We get more bloody SNOW!
