English Weather by Wendy Cope

January's grey and slushy,

February's chill and drear,

March is wild and wet and windy,

April seldom brings much cheer.

In May, a day or two of sunshine,

Three or four in June, perhaps.

July is usually filthy,

August skies are open taps.

In September things start dying,

Then comes cold October mist.

November we make plans to spend

The best part of December pissed.



I first came across this poetry in National Portrait Gallery, I laughed after reading it.
