Signs are that the days are warming, time to go outside
Take to summer, duck to water, phrases spring to mind
Make no mention of the slow melting going on below
We can stall it if we want to, we are humankind

Take a map of Wales and England, Scotland and the seas
Note be taken of the contours carved out by the breeze
How much longer will it look like the picture in the book
Loath are we to face up to the probabilities

Long ago when time was younger, little did we know
Population boom caused wonder far beyond our throw
Two feet forward, three feet back, blow the winds of changing tact
Welcome to the new disorder nature has bestowed

So lay your head down for the winter, why the worry now?
Head to sand and bury under, laud the sacred cow
Face the music when it comes, dance until the morning sun
And follow the piper to the river - watch them all jump in
