Summer, What Summer when did we see you last?
Was it a brief spell last year, or sometime in the past
We remember you in seventy-six when your sun was oh so strong
There wasn't a breath of air all night and all day long.
You often come and bring the rain
Mackintoshes and umbrellas singing refrain
Sometimes it never stopped, we remember
From early May until September
Summer Oh! Summer! We love you
So when you send down the sun, and on the beach we go
So please don't forsake us this year, we plead
Your Sun to tan us, is all we need
The birds and the bees are missing you so
The flowers and the trees, you they adore
The farmer is yearning for ripened corn
We are all waiting for a summer morn. By M Seddon
