Hot Summer Weather

It's nice to have warm weather, with unclouded skies all day,
The sort, that often happens in late April or in May,
But when the summer's with us, and the sun's relentless rays,
Strike the earth with vigour, producing scorching days,
It isn't really pleasant, not weather to enjoy,.
For very many people more the sort that will annoy.
It makes you feel so languid, lacking any sense of speed,
As if a life of leisure is the only thing you need/
Eating loads of icecream doesn't as a rule
Do anything longstanding in the battle to get cool.
At night it's really awful as you struggle hard to sleep,
With wakefulness and slumber all jumbled in a heap.
The Underground is stifling - the buses just as bad,
Comfortable travelling then in general can't be had.
Your clothes are soaked with moisture, showing wavy lines of salt,
And all of your discomfort is the humid weather's fault.
You dream of autumn;s coming, knowing that as it draws near,
The awful heat of summer will then start to disappear.
