And true to form, Bank Holiday
Has come round once again
With torrents of the wet stuff that
We call torrential rain
For right on time, almost on cue
The downpour has arrived
As heavens open up and drop
Their payload from the skies
But that’s the way it always is
A soggy damp affair
So make the most and dance it in
Less complain ‘It’s not fair’
Bank holiday weekend!
What are you going to do?
Perhaps a spot of gardening
Of have a barbecue
Or maybe you will trundle to
The beach right by the sea
Or play a round of golf or more
Go out for lunch or tea
Perchance you’ll browse around the shops
Frequent a house on show
Or even work out in the gym
Then to the theatre go
Or mayhap you’ll sit in traffic jams
Or cycle far beyond
Walk the dog or visit friends
Go fishing at the pond
The endless possibilities
To keep us in the zone
Of “doing” relaxation til
It’s time to leave our home
On Tuesday morning next week when
Alarm clocks ring their bell
And then we’ll want to stay in bed
And think “Oh what the hell!”
