Easter Monday in the UK

In leafy lanes across the land
Daffs and primrose proudly stand
Green swards and blossom greet our eyes
And birdsong welcomes in sunrise.

England's villages look cute
Is this Easter heat a fluke?
We love to spend a week down here
When spring has sprung and skies are clear.

But note how full main roads become
With traffic permanently a hum
Since we left this isle of dreams
Which now is bursting at the seams!
