The Whys of Winter

The weather is getting dreadfuler,
The rain,
The slashing rain,
The wind,
The cutting wind,
The cold,
The unbearable cold,
The night,
The early darkness.
Why is winter so harsh?
Why, might I ask,
Why?

The snow that everyone loves,
Why is it so rare?
The cold, white snow,
That makes everyone’s day,
Why can you never find it often,
Why does it never settle and stay when it does?
Why?
Why?
Why?

Tennis

Mind games,
Back and forth,
Back and forth,
Love fifteen,
Back and forth,
Back and forth,
Balls,
Back and forth,
Back and forth,
Fifteen all,
Back and forth,
Back and forth,
Anger,
Back and forth,
Back and forth,
Fifteen, thirty,
Back and forth,
Back and forth,
Bored,
Back and forth,
Back and forth,
Fifteen, forty,
Back and forth,
Back and forth,
Players,
Back and forth,
Back and forth,
Game, set, match,
A player howls in annoyance,
As another cheers in victory.
This,
 Is,
 Modern,
 Tennis.

Lost

I look at the hills far away,
Wondering which way to go.
Our Sat Nav is telling us to go to space,
Deep space,
Where I don't know.
Looking at this car-filled road,
Then at our old, beautiful car.
Right then I hoped we were in time for lunch,
At home.
