The Passing of Summer 2013

The Passing of Summer 2013

We wondered if,

We'd see your smile,

We hadn't seen you,

For quite a while,

But come you did,

And raise your hand,

On many faces,

The skin now tanned,

For me sometimes,

You were too hot,

But I'm still glad,

You stayed a lot,

You're going now,

That's clear to see,

And it's not nice,

To see you flee,

So when it comes,

This time next year,

Please don't be a stranger,

We like you that's clear.

Explanation

The summer of 2013 in the UK was one of the sunniest and hottest for many many years. After several years of very poor quality summers (even for the UK), we were long overdue, and in great need of a lovely summer. We got one.
