Upside down



Remember to wrap up warmly
there’s a real winter chill setting in
said the weatherman, cheerfully.
Seriously? He was smiling.
He must have been thinking of pumpkins
some Christmas scene with a robin
or roast chestnuts and snowmen
not burning trees and seas rising.
Watch out for the winter chill? Excuse me.
Today, people were sunbathing.
Why don’t you look out of the window?
The road is actually melting.
He pushes on like a snow plough
Wrap up warm, sure sign of winter, mind how you go …
