Welcome To The Summer Holidays!

When school breaks up,
Celebration is rife amongst
The hordes of overworked children,
And the moaning, groaning teenagers.
Glorious sunshine and blistering heat,
The expectations are high;
But in reality, floods pour from the skies,
Ruining our flip flops in the process.
Going on holiday in the Cornwall sunshine,
A warm, sunny week beckons;
Back in Kent, one week later,
The heavens open once more.
Going down the park with friends,
Well, those who aren’t on holiday,
And the ones who are, are away for eons
And so ensues an age of boredom.
One week left until the beginning of school
Twiddling thumbs for a bit; underworked,
All of the hours spent watching the telly
Have resulted in square eyes.
More TV watching follows, and
Moaning and groaning teenagers,
Grunting down the phone,
“Can’t wait to get back to school.”
Moaning and groaning parents saying,
“I can’t wait until they go back to school!”
After all, you can only hear
“Are we nearly there yet?” so many times.
