May’s almost passed
will soon be June
Midsummer’s day
will be here soon
My month of birth
a summer’s child
in fifty-nine
the sunshine smiled
So bring again
the sultry days
of naked toes
and warming haze
of lapping waves
down on the beach
the beach-hut there
in easy reach
Long days of sunshine
clear blues skies
sweet lavender
and butterflies
This time of year
my apogee
revered in this
soliloquy

I too arrived
mid way through June,
but forty-nine;
ten years too soon!

‘Twas November
When I appeared
Head of hair
Like inverted beard
Great, Jem. You almost broke into a sonnet!
