An Ode to Spring Time


Don’t you love it when the sun shines and you fall in love with the world once again?
The days get longer, the hem-lines shorter, people smiling at each other and saying hello like they mean it.
Mini convertibles with their tops downs being driven by beautiful David and Victoria Beckhams.
Young bucks and giggly girls spilling out of pubs, beer glasses in hand, linen’s and sunglasses galore.
White skin for miles around, it’s going to be a couple of weeks before the tans kick in.
Walking to the park means weaving through lines of twin or triplet buggies and yummy mummies in designer khakis.
Cheering dogs cavorting freely sans freezing owners, wow, what a turn around!
Green shoots, cherry blossoms, magnolia flowers abound.
Pastel colours, flowy fabrics, floral patterns, strappy sandals hit town
Wasted gym memberships, hay fever, flowing noses a few frowns
But what I love best are the amorous pigeons, with their struts, feathers puffed up, cooing sounds. Impressing those pigeonetts is hard but that’s what spring time’s about!
