Thanks to Ruth McRobb for finding these Summer poems to enjoy. Ruth ’ s accompanying comment for the first poem, “ June ” by John Updike, is that it for both young children and adults to reminisce ….
The sun is rich and gladly pays In golden hours, Silver days, And long green weeks, That never end. School ’ s out, the time, Is ours to spend. There ’ s Little League, Hopscotch, the Creek, And, after supper, Hide - and - Seek. The live - long light is like a dream,
and freckles come, Like flies to cream.
And a bit of humour, substitution for what many of us may have left on the beach, adds to the comedy of Spike Milligan. Return to Sorrento(3rd class) by Spike Milligan.
I must go down to the sea again, To the lonely sea and sky, I left my vest and socks there, I wonder if they ’ re dry?
This is a spoof of Jane Mansfield ’ s poem “ Sea Fever ” which actually has three verses, you can look it up using Google.
