Garsington
It could be November.
Low broken clouds threaten
Winds break up the valley
Kites risk the rain
Circling the park
The orchestra look sullen
Trudging up around the lake
Local scouts
Are pleased to take our bags
Chattering with enthusiasm of Iceland
We're in tent thirteen
Which keeps out all the draughts
As we enjoy our roasted artichokes
And Kalkidis olives
All picked up from Waitrose
At Oxford Services
On our way up from Hastings
Where the weather, when we left,
Was warm and wonderful.
