3421 - The fifth day of Christmas

This rain goes on and on, next it's Storm Frank
Set to victimise the north once again
With downpours and floods, rivers bursting banks
Who'd live in central York now? It is plain
That it's far from over, incessant rain
Caused by global warming. Where are the snows
Of yesteryear? The temperature has gained
Too many degrees, and now no-one knows
Whether ever again a winter freeze
Will revisit like an old friend we'd thank
For stopping by once in a while. We'd spend
More on heating, yes, as the cold wind blows
But instead, daffodils bloom, and new lambs
Are born in December at the year's end

Tue 29 Dec
