Alternative Summer by marge.

For our few days in Southport

                                                                                                                  

We braved the wind and rain

to travel the M62,  (the most

beautiful Motorway in England.)

Joining the wind and rain,

All enveloping fog came down too.

Windscreen wipers were flip-flopping.

Lorries throwing up spray.

making visibility impossible.

We passed the boundary stones,

Exchanging our White Rose,

for their Red Rose County.

Now, into Lancashire, we go

downhill to our journey's end.

And our holiday destination!

NOTE: This poem was written

some years ago when we had a

wet Summer, unlike 2018's

heatwave!
