103 Days of Summer


Does summer last 103 days

Possibly

I think that we fall just short

June 30/July 31/ August 31

Adds up to 92 days

That is a very cut glass approach

It always amazes me

How many people do not like summer

As I adore every second of the season

I just feel very happy

The light the warmth the colours

When are we due to land Rachel

UK or Australian time

Just say we will be travelling

For many many hours

Do you remember

When we last visited Perth

Clearly

Waking up with views out to sea

I wonder if the stuffed roo

Is still on top of the huge wardrobe

Or whether my siblings have moved it

Three years us a long time

We needed this break Rachel

Both of us

We never stop

It is not good for our health

Where are we

I do not have a clue

Thousands of feet

Above nothingness

And even more nothingness

Do you realise that when we return

An old friend

Will be waiting for us

On our lonely doorstep

We have no friends

We do have one friend

Her name is June

Rachel look up the aisle

What do you see

A girl in a cornflower dress

Do you recognise her
