The bank holiday, just like any other it would seem

People lined up for burgers, queued for ice cream

Traffic jams and chaos, they raced to beauty spots

Roads filled with cars and bikes, so few parking slots

 

They parked on pavements, blocking walkers' way

Locals wished the tourists had not visited that day

Was it too much to hope, common sense would prevail

I wish that the forecast had been for wind, rain and hail

 

I hope for the next bank holiday, the sun will shine all day

Visitors will be welcomed back, to picnic, swim and play

I hope this will happen, because it will be safe to do

We can all enjoy a sunny, happy day, me and all of you
