This Week's Theme: Weather

Hello. I'll be briefer than a Scottish Summer....We've been going through a heatwave here in the UK...it's the main topic of conversation right now but it usually is - whatever it's like. :)

So, for this week any collages depicting any type of weather.....

( This is my last theme for May but I'm happy to continue and do June's themes as well if that's okay with everyone. - Ron )

Spike Milligan's The ABC

'Twas midnight in the schoolroom  
And every desk was shut  
When suddenly from the alphabet  
Was heard a loud "Tut-Tut!"
  Said A to B, "I don't like C;  His manners are a lack.
 For all I ever see of C  Is a semi-circular back!"   
"I disagree," said D to B,  "I've never found C so.  
From where I stand he seems to be  An uncompleted O."
  C was vexed, "I'm much perplexed,  You criticise my shape.
 I'm made like that, to help spell Cat  And Cow and Cool and Cape."
  "He's right" said E; said F, "Whoopee!"  Said G, "'Ip, 'Ip, 'ooray!"
 "You're dropping me," roared H to G.  "Don't do it please I pray."
  "Out of my way," LL said to K.  "I'll make poor I look ILL."
 To stop this stunt J stood in front,  And presto! ILL was JILL.
  "U know," said V, "that W  Is twice the age of me.
 For as a Roman V is five  I'm half as young as he."   
X and Y yawned sleepily,  "Look at the time!" they said.  
"Let's all get off to beddy byes."
 They did, then "Z-z-z."

burnt norton

Handwritten text is a long poem by T. S. Eliot, titled "Burnt Norton"—the first poem in his Four Quartets. I cut out the orange shapes.

Here's the whole of the Four Quartets, if you want to read some of it. I'm kind of an ambassador for that big chunk of Eliot. =laugh=

This collage has a problem: it's 8 1/2" x 11", but it didn't quite fit on the lame scanner I have right now.
