A Hard Frost

A Hard Frost

 

I thought that winter was over

What with bulbs pushing through in the garden

And I thought that we’d seen the last of the frost

But I woke up today to a hard ‘un

 

Just when I thought that spring had sprung

Winter comes back without warning

Just when I thought that the frost was all done

I woke to a hard ‘un this morning

Kevin,
you continue to excel with your peculiar brand of humour. With a hard'un you can hold it this way or that. I have a wealth of experience.
Thanks for this
Keith
