It’s a few days now since the Swifts left,
Well most of them that is, odd ones still to go,
But go they will, just like the Swallows and Martins,
Who have also started to leave us.
It seems only yesterday, I counted the first,

A few on the wires today, far less than yesterday, but!
Still some about, maybe they’re triple brooders!
Bye bye for now Swallow, do your best,
We want you back, with all the rest,
I’m counting now 232 days, to go!
Before your back, and when I can shout!
Two Swallows do make a Summer!
