We used to have a climate so mild

we rarely had winds that were wild

But since Christmas last

No day has gone past

Without rain that would drown a small child.

We wonder why England’s so wet.

Are we like old Job so be set

Exams and ordeals

Which make all of us reel…

Are good and evil beset?

Scotland wants to break right away.

And they have not much rain these days.

Are we English at last

To be punished for our past?

Not even the Pope likes to say
