a couple of quick poems about summer:
the spring was lovely in Sydney
that last spring with my friends
to break and leave Australia
my step-dad still defends
the summer turned to winter
but a winter always hot
we're back and living in Thailand
but that seems to be my lot
here every day is summer
there's never any spring
no autumn leaves will ever fall
no Honeyeaters sing
It is my home i know it
and i love it yes i do
but the summer time in Sydney
well i really love that too
in summertime i think of snow
and ice cream cones too don't you know
and showering waterfalls of ice
in summertime i think that's nice
in fact i think of all things cold
when summer heat has taken hold
but maybe there's a better way
to flee the boiling heat of day
if i could do just what i like
in summertime i'd take a flight
i'd fly to mountains high and free
and down them all i'd board and ski
and in between those chilly runs
i'd nibble chips and burger buns
and sipping chocolate thick and hot
i'd love the summertime a lot
May has recently moved back to Thailand after 5 years in Sydney
Had we been able to get PR we would have stayed
but PR is not so easy for Kiwis
that's life
