ENGLAND IS COVERED IN SNOW ! A Villanelle

 

 

ENGLAND is covered in SNOW

You cannot walk ~ you slip and slide

It\'s freezing ~ wherever WE GO !

 

Cars & Bikes are all driving slow

If you fall ~ it hurts your BACKSIDE !

ENGLAND is covered in SNOW

 

Making all our poor noses glow

We would much rather be inside

It\'s freezing ~ wherever WE GO !

 

We love to make SNOWMEN ~ you know

From the SNOW there is nowhere to hide

ENGLAND is covered in SNOW

 

On the Railways it\'s all ~ Stop & Go

I\'ll have to take a Sleigh Bell ride

It\'s freezing ~ wherever WE GO !

 

Aeroplanes can\'t fly from Heathrow

No Florida Christmas ~ I\'ve cried !

ENGLAND is covered in SNOW

It\'s freezing wherever WE GO !

 

Thanks for visiting ~ comments welcome Love BRIAN XOX

 

For those not familiar with the villanelle ~ It is a  FRENCH

classical poetic form with 19 lines and only two rhymes 

a & b  Repeated line are capitalised which results in pattern

A1 b A2  a b A1  a b A2  a b A1  a b A2  a b A1 A2

I hope that is clear ! Normally the lines are co-syllabic ~ OK 

 

Dear President TRUMP please please stop Climate Change

ban the use of COAL etc. and cut down on CO2 emissions !

Climate change has brought Hotter Summers to the UK

(which we like ~ we can holiday in Clacton not St Tropez)

and Colder Winters which we hate ! It causes Canada to 

laugh at us ~ England grinds to a halt if we get more than

two inches !  We don\'t have Snow chains and Snow Ploughs

and we\'ve already run out of salt ! We are all dreaming of

\"A Sunny Christmas ~ Just like the ones we used to know !\"
