It’s the month of May
And at last the sun is out – hurray!
Dust down the parasol,
Fill the barbecue with charcoal,
In the fridge the beers can chill.
Get the burgers and sausages for the grill,
And soon the paddling pool is filled,
Salad making is Mum’s job,
As Dad the burgers he loves to lob,
Into the buns when they’re done,
Yes, he’s having so much fun,
Wearing an apron and tall chef’s hat,
Grinning like a Cheshire Cat!
You’d think he had a Michelin star,
(Even though the bangers he did char!)
Mum sits contentedly having a rest,
Surveying her family and feeling blessed,
That they are all together,
And can enjoy this summery weather.
Who needs a Mediterranean beach,
When this sunny garden is within our
reach! MMK May 2023
