DEAR editor,

What has happened to the weather?

In the summer temperatures were the same

And I cannot help believing

That global warming is to blame.

It's been easily the warmest

Autumn that I can remember

And now I've been told

That there are daffodils in December.

I'm tired of these dull wet days

And want sunshine on Penarth beach

I try to pull back the clouds

But they're well out of reach

And have great sorrow for Cumbria

Flooded after biblical rain

And it cannot be denied

That the weather is quite insane.

Now they say a toxic cloud is coming

From winds way down south

And all I want this winter

Is cold breath from my mouth.

Christmas cards and carols

Do not mix at all

And now it's winter time

I long...for snow to fall.
