Those whirlygig thingies that dropped from the trees and spun about like helicopters that danced in the breeze well I miss them. and the apples we scrumped the hedges we jumped the doors that we knocked on and ran away from just for a laugh well I miss them too I’d make a list of…

Heat stroke
I have a fan. battery operated it oscillates. if it’s not set level it vibrates even though it’s not a vibrator. when the batteries go the fan does not nor I suspect the vibrator. you’ll have to put this one down to the heat which has got me beat but I have a plan…
Seasides
These are the hot days the ones where you crunch through the shingle that lays on the shore days, the ones where you strip and skinny dip in the bay days. So many ways to enjoy them but mostly by the sea…
High rise hot
To capture the scents of wild meadows, intense exhilarating I’m still waiting for the wind to blow chimes for the arrival of Summer. But when I was knee high to a grasshopper and the ears of corn heard my laughter it was always sunshine…
Out of the sun
When I want to get away from it all I just fade into my shadow on the garden wall and hang there, breathing deep as if I belong there. The ivy creeps up and grows on me. the breeze blows on me cooling me fooling me into thinking I can stay like this forever…
The second coming
Aha the weather has changed we can all go back to misery long faces on a longer journey you can find misery under M in the dictionary (thanks to Bernardo Soares) for that idea. The sun’ll return to burn some and some’ll buy cooling lotions, the parasol sellers who sell sun umbrellas should really promote their…
Floats on Friday
It’s no good being squeamish about squelching as your eyes open on sweat filled sockets, drying myself I am crying, the heat at this time of the day is awfully trying, did you notice how I didn’t fukin swear about the heat? and so good for the diet I lost four pints of water you…
Cooking oil
On the road the tarmac bubbles just like a load of baking soda, a little observation made while I sit here and drink a glass of sparkling water, it should be lemonade but I forgot to buy some…
The summer song
We’ll turn into parchment or vellum this heat is hell on your skin. Garters to keep up my socks pectoral muscles hard as rocks a stiff upper lip and an active mind i think you’ll find that I’m in working order. Not ready yet for the knackers yard or for the great referee to give…
Turning to liquid
It’s getting hotter think I’ve got a temperature, but I thought wrong it’s an ice lolly. I wanted a cornet but I can’t play one so I got a lolly and the day goes along still getting hotter but I’ve not got a complaint about that…
Urban scrawl
We use concentrate, become an inebriate can you relate to this. I made a wish it cost me sixpence the wish never came true who can I sue? if it’s as I suspected that everything’s connected then somewhere out there is a vagrant dream with my name on it. The heat is affecting me but I…
Hawks
I hear thunder somewhere in the distance where sound waves bounce off the sky, an echo? a cry from the heavens? a sign that this fine day is coming to its end? It was good while it lasted drenched in the sunshine but the time has now come to run, to get out from the…
Monday
The bait bag or snap tin was what dad put his sandwiches in and off to work he went, not a city gent, but skilled in his own way and worked a day for a day’s pay, We used to watch for him coming home and when we saw the works van we ran down…
Back on the bay
I’d like a glass of lemonade clear and cool like Mother made so many years ago. a Summer filled with fun sand castles under the seaside sun a bun for tea with lots of jam and off we go again…
One Summer day in 1967
It was mid morning before it dawned on us that we were late and what a fuss we made, Slices of bread and marmalade half brewed tea put the pot in the shade. We got there at the last knockings when the tide was about to turn, down went the fishing lines up went the…
Archways in the sand
Thundering and you’re still wondering if it’s going to rain? what’s wrong with you? this is Summer British style. So we paint that smile on umbrella up and it’s back to the beach. teach an old dog new tricks but he’ll still die and you. might as well enjoy the view of the wind farm…
That Punch and Judy thing
Does the writing do the thing for you? is it good for you? what would you like to do? is the writing alright with you? I task myself with the quill will myself to write and in the shortness of a Summer night when the girls are pretty and their clothes are light it’s not…
The butterfly house
it was easy to turn our dreams into reality and then our wishes all came true, except for you (because you were as thick as pigshit) we could say that to a friend, (friends to the end) that’s a bit of a childhood haunt come back to haunt me and we went up t’park larked about clambered…
Turnstiles
Laughing? it’s flamin’ hysterical Summer and June soon be July wonder why It’s raining. Craning my eyes just to see if time flies in a straight line, and it’s true what they say that every man has a way of dealing with feelings. The overview. Do it now and do it how you want it…
British Summer time
Rain, like beads of sweat rolling down the window, same as it’s always been, dripping almost silently to flow eventually into the greater sea from whence it came…
