Half the World

The snow is waiting in the clouds;

The day is raw and bleak

While in Australia, there are crowds

In sunshine, all this week.

 

I bundle up when I go out,

The coming storm a threat,

Yet tennis players run about

In Melbourne, dripping sweat.

 

It’s strange the way the earth revolves

And how the seasons flip.

In half the world, the ice dissolves;

The rest’s in winter’s grip.
